It is a standard 8' heated basement. Your wood measures 4% now? Where
are you located.

You didn't mention the corrections for your meter. Most have to have
them to be even close to accurate across species.
No, it doesn't have any corrections; probably too cheap.


I'm where it snowed yesterday, and the wood-burning furnace was required all
day. Probably should light it now, but it's 66 inside, and only a few below
downstairs. Just came up from there, and I am wearing short pants.

Get a humidity gage and use it to "calibrate" your meter. With pretty
constant humidity for a couple of weeks and the tables from fpl, you can
work up your own species corrections.
