moisture meter
How are people determining moisture content? Weight? Some meter? WAG? (wild ass guess) I'll be cutting down my apple tree and it would be nice to know when the logs are ready. Some people say apple is a wood you can use green. Not sure about that......
Not in a stick burner, but if you are using charcoal as your fire(heat source) you can use unseasoned apple wood chunks for smoke.

splitting a bunch of cherry, according to the meter it is in the 22-27% moisture range. Bark is lift5off, kind of. Wood is green right under the bark....this normal for cherry?I have used green wood.... You need to remove the bark or a bad flavor will be transmitted to the food... Even removing the bark from dry wood is recommended to improve meat flavor..... That is something I learned 50 years ago....
Yes for some cherry species such as pin cherry.splitting a bunch of cherry, according to the meter it is in the 22-27% moisture range. Bark is lift5off, kind of. Wood is green right under the bark....this normal for cherry?
hell if I know lol. Apparently the guy I got it from gave me a few different varieties. Will take a few pictures. He is tree trimmer and all he was it is "urban wood".Yes for some cherry species such as pin cherry.
Moisture is a bit high for stickburning.
What kind of cherry is it, fruit or wild?
