Aldi moisture meter

Just had our stove installed so reluctantly bought a net of firewood from the petrol station to try it out, aldi moisture meter. Measured on freshly split pieces. Wondering if the tree was dead before felling which could account for dryness?

By harry. My old one needed manual calibration every time it was used, but had a sample and hold button. This new one auto-calibrates at switch on, but seems to lack a hold button. Both had rather thick probes, which are not well suited to our caravan use. Old unit had to be switched off, new one switches itself off after 30 seconds.

I bought one 3 years ago primarily to check the moisture content of firewood, it's still working on the original batteries. Well recommended. If you don't swear when you're driving, you're not paying attention! I like children but can't eat a whole one. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything!

Just had our stove installed so reluctantly bought a net of firewood from the petrol station to try it out. Measured on freshly split pieces. Wondering if the tree was dead before felling which could account for dryness? Coincidentally I went down to my log pile this morning with a cup of coffee, an axe and my moisture meter. If you want to test your meter you can do a series of experiments using a kitchen scale and an oven at 60dgrees ish. Will dig out the instructions as it has a calibration thing in the cap a resistor I think! Happy days if it turns out my wood was seasoned before felling!

Accuracy - There really is not that much to damp measurement, none are accurate as such and don't need to be - the biggest source of inaccuracy, is at the area of contact and the chemical composition of the item being measured.

Close Menu. Posted October 28, edited. When I was working nearly 20 yrs ago now one of my duties was advice and control of drying out new and refurbished buildings. Funsters who are viewing this thread. The lack of a Hold, makes it awkward to use in a confined space, but a curly extension lead for the probes, with a pair of sharp needle would solve that. If someone still has the instructions for the Aldi meter could you send a copy to shilton at btinternet. The Experts and professionals will say waste of money but in my view it will give you an indication. Anyone else tried the aldi Meter… is it reliable? But as already said, they have prongs that need pushing into whatever you are testing. I have been using Protimeters since the 90's
