I noticed a few suggestions to get a moisture meter for someone's project,
and have been thinking about it myself. I've got rough cut lumber milled
from a tree, and I've got no idea what the moisture level is.

Any suggestions for a good relatively inexpensive meter?

I have the same, it works well.
But I also have a little harbor freight unit. very small, and since it
was only $13 I take it to the lumber mill.

Very close readings to the Lingnomat. and for $13 if I drop it down a
pile or step or drop it while at the lumber mill I don't care.
