Any sugestions on moisture meter. I'm using the prong type, however looking for an opinion, my feelings are the center of the wood may not be dry, so we don't see that . Is there a more accurate moisture tester. just saying i cut some wood today,and it was wet and bound up my saw
 
I have one for woodworking, not the prong type, and it supposedly reads by scanning into the wood. There is a chart for the different species of wood that will let you adjust your results. Bought it when I had a sawmill and it worked great for that.
Sold my sawmill years back, and really don't use it anymore. I do alot of woodturning now, and when I rough turn pieces, I weigh them. Then every week or month or so will reweigh them, and when the weight stabilizes, I know they are ready to return.
I would be willing to sell it for a very, very good price as it is just sitting in a drawer not being used. It looks as if there is a new model out now, but it last sold for $395 if my search results are right. I would let it go for $100 shipped. Enclosed is a picture of it, and one of it not against wood, and then on wood giving a reading.
