“The Stack Probe has been a great benefit to us. We’re getting truer readings than if you just get a piece that is sticking out the end. That’s going to be drier than what is down in the center. So with the stack probe, that has been a great advantage for us.”
Kevin Kaster | Kaster’s Kustom Kutting
Accelerates Kiln Turnover with Accuracy and Efficiency
“Making sure we are using the Stack meter from Wagner, investing in that means that we can shorten the amount of time in which we are turning over kilns and with a better accuracy. We want to be able to go through and test as much as that wood as is coming out of the kiln before it hits our planer and feel confident that what we’re pulling out is dry… without needing to de-stack or pull stickers.”
Matt Farrell | Co-owner, Burl & Grain
You’re Not Doing Damage to the Wood
“We like the Wagner hand-held moisture meters simply because you’re not doing damage to the wood. We don’t have the luxury with our products to be taking off a lot of surface once it goes into the moulder or planer, so we don’t want to have some pinholes in the wood. The guys with the moisture meters with the needles would argue, ‘Oh, that will clean up,’ but not when you’re taking a sixteenth of a cut off the face.”
Paul Ericson | President, Shelton Structures
Tech Onsite Same Day
“We couldn’t live without moisture meters. We’ve had people come to us who have rejected other mill’s products because there was too much moisture variance. Wagner’s always produced a good moisture meter and we’ve relied on them to take care of us. If we have an issue with Wagner’s Meters, they can usually have a tech onsite that day.”
Ed Cunningham | Sales Manager, Rough & Ready Lumber
Great Customer Service
"Our goal is to always increase the effectiveness and efficiency of our operation. Using Wagner’s moisture meters help us track and control our output. Their technology makes this portion of the job much easier. Wagner’s also got great customer service. They get right on it when it comes to answering questions or addressing concerns, but they also call to check in on us to see if we need anything or if they can offer any help."
Bryan Vigue | Dry End Superintendent, Swanson Group Manufacturing
Tight Tolerances and Reliable Products
“When we started making lamstock and other high-end products, we had to get their moisture content within tight tolerances or risk losing grade value. That’s when we started utilizing the Wagner products because we really needed to make sure our moisture contents were right on.”
Ken Kalesnikoff | President, Kalesnikoff Lumber
User-Friendly and Reliable Meters
“The L622 creates many efficiencies for us. It provides us with an informative report summary that can be effectively used in helping determine the required drying needs of our lumber at any given time. And with the meter’s ability to store numerous grouped readings in its memory, our kiln operators find success with managing multiple kiln audits at any one time. The Wagner Meters provide us these advantages while doing it on a very user-friendly and reliable platform.”
Brad Mason | Manufacturing Team Leader, Kalesnikoff Lumber
Moisture Meter Saves Us $300,000 Annually
“The L622 also does something else the pin meter couldn’t do. It allows us to download an informative report summary to a computer which we can print out. It’ll give me an average of the recorded moisture readings, graphs, and the overall MC of each charge. So it’s been a real viable tool for us. I estimate it saves us conservatively $300,000 annually due to savings in time, energy costs, and the effort that’s spent drying the wood.”
Kerry Cogburn | Teal-Jones Lumber
