For those of you who may want a moisture meter, but don't have one yet:
Lowes has a nice looking General moister meter for $9.98. It is the pin variety. Measures from 5% to 50%. Has a digital readout and looks reasonably well made. I may pick one up to replace my HF. The General seems to be much nicer and better built. FWIW they also have an infrared thermometer that reads up to 605ยบ F. Same price.
