What is best for testing moisture content of wood, a two pin or a four

Four pin will give more comparable results.
Two pin is much more dependant on probe condition, and contact with the
wood, four pin - ideally - should not depend on this.

A sharp plug cutter, an oven at 100C for an hour, and a sensitive scale
is of course the best way.


I am guessing, but do 4-pin meters work on the same principle as those
BFI bathroom scales?
Sort of "Does my beam look big in this" affair? ;-)
