Moisture Meter - Colour Change

Use the handy Valiant Moisture meter to ensure you get the best burn from your fuel, it not only has a back-lit screen to illuminate the reading but the built-in colour-change technology indicates the moisture level of the firewood. It’s an essential tool for any fireplace owner!

How does the moisture meter work?

Fuel quality is the single most important aspect of making a successful fire. To burn effectively the moisture content of firewood needs to be less than 20%, whether it’s being used in an open fire or a stove. Freshly felled timber can have a moisture content of between 30% and 60%, which when burnt can cause dangerous creosote build-up in chimneys and high emissions of particulates to the atmosphere.

Using a moisture meter is a great way to check whether your wood will give you a safe and efficient burn, or if it needs further seasoning. The screen will glow green if your fuel contains less than 20% moisture, indicating that it’s ready to go.

The new Valiant moisture meter can also be used in timber, floors, and buildings in order to detect and measure moisture content.
