Once the lineup cards are submitted (approx. 5 minutes before game time), the umpires take control of the field and the crew chief becomes the person who decides whether to delay or postpone a game (and if/when to restart).
A firewood moisture meter can be used to determine the moisture content of your firewood, but are they a necessity or just a novelty? Seasoned firewood is considered to have a moisture content of 20% or less.
A good representative sample is typically 40 boards for every 1,000 square feet of flooring. Calculate what the optimal wood moisture content is (baseline) by dividing the high season and low season. Example: If your region has an expected EMC from a low of 6% to a high of 9%, the baseline MC of the wood would be 7.5%. If wood flooring is delivered and recorded to its baseline MC for the geographical location and proper relative humidity conditions are maintained, no acclimation may be required.
