  • In this video I update the "wall of flame" with some new channel stickers, and review the TopTes Ts-630 moisture meter. I usually don't give such a firm recommendation on a product, but this meter has some great features. View the meter at this link:

    I hope your Easter Holiday was great. Once again, another video from you that I learned something. your explanation was great. By the way, I still have an old Simpson 20 VOM (although not used ins 30 years or more). Kudo's to your Boss Dog's groomer as well. I keep looking to see when you top the 2K level. Have a great week.

I’m still doing the way the old school guys taught me, fell when the sap is down, cut and split ✅and stack in a ventilated shelter for a year or so, too something about hearing them hit together. One thing for sure, that fisher stove will let you know if the wood is damp. Keep up the good videos. 👏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
