Dennis is just being grumpy....Best tip I can give Jeff is to get 3 years ahead on your firewood and then you can forget the MM. In over 50 years I have yet to find a need for one but I can understand your situation.

I have these guys bookmarked. They might be near you, and can get you through the first year until you have your own seasoned wood. I hear a cord of their wood is not that expensive.
Looks like quality stuff - i just emailed, and they already got back to me. I'll post prices after they respond again.
Thanks Chazcarr! (I'm an ex connectican? btw - born and raised in Woodstock, CT!)
I had family who once lived in Woodstock, CT -- Hustus. And my wife's family lives right down the road a piece in Stafford Springs and Ellington. It's a pretty area of CT.
Thanks Guys.
I'll stop by my local Harbor Frieght and pickup their tool!
As for firewood, my friend who sell's it is going to let me test his the wood with the meter then I can make my decision!
From everything I've heard around here, suppliers advertise, and post pictures of "seasoned" wood, but deliveries rarely arrive with under 25% moisture content.
Mine was eating more batteries then one set a year, I now take them out when not using it and have not gone through a set since, bought some off of ebay way cheaper then in the stores around here.The one I have is from Harbor freight and it eats batteries one set per year. Link
Would I recommend using one ? Well that all depends on how detailed you are.
Does your stove have a catalytic combustor ? if yes and you do not have reliable wood than I would get one. Sure beats
destroying your cat.
3 years ahead works +++++
