Any advice or links on using this to determine when to cut and jar hanging plants?

Harvest & Curing Wood Moisture Meter

I have the same one, it's a good sanity check/nice to put some numbers together with feel.
About 12% is what I shoot for before buckin and sweatin.

I think @Mañ'O'Green uses one. He may have some advice for using it.

I let my plants dry upside down in a dark tent at 60%RH (Temp @ 60-70F). Afterwards, I poke the stem inside the buds with the moisture meter. When we're between 9-12%, you're good to bag/jar it up. Hygrometers in the bag/jar to ensure your RH is where you want. GL! 
I actually have need to get one of these for a loooooong assed time.

This is my meter.
I put the buds still on stems in brown bags when it read 12%-13% and then into 1/4 Lb. Grove Bags at 11%. I add a hygrometer and zip closed for a few hours or overnight. If the hygrometer is in the 58% to 63% range I take the hygrometer out and heat seal the bag. Cure at least 2 weeks.
I have some over a year old and never opened until I need some. Works a treat.

MOG - at which point to you buck and trim? Or trim and buck?
How long in the brown bags?
However long it takes to get to 11%. Losing 1%-2% will be different for everyone. All will depend on the environment your in.
