The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Leisure Line Stove Compare our stoves, boilers and hot air furnaces to others. Leisure Line stokers are all automatic, pour coal into the large hopper and let the thermostat operate the stove. With our stove there are no moveable grates to worry about. Never shake another grate, or dump another fire. Our unique burner is simple and robust. Our design which shovels the coal onto the burn grate, rather than pushing the coal, creates more air pockets to make for a cleaner burning stove. When you shop for a coal stoker ask to see how the burner works, this is the heart of any stoker stove. We are proud of our design and think it is the best out there for simplicity, efficiency and reliability. Our feeder utilizes a bearing arm to move the feeder shovel. This design eliminates extra moving parts and provides maximum reliability. Our high quality American made gear motors and bulletproof design makes our coal feeder number one. Another winning feature of Leisure Line is the way our thermostat controls our convection fans on our stoves and furnaces. We don't rely on a fan limit switch, where the convection fan runs wide open or not at all. We ramp our fan up and down. So, when the thermostat is controlling the heat output, it is also controlling the fan output. No more running back and forth to the stove to turn the dials, adjust feed ratio or play with the rheostat settings. With our built for Leisure Line digital programmable Coal-trol thermostat all you need to do is set it and forget it. Don D. of Syracuse, NY stated, ...by having the Coal-trol thermostat on my Leisure Line stove, I saved somewhere between 11-15% of coal throughout the entire heating season. The Coal-trol really is the next best thing in stoker stoves. Our endeavor to produce Boilers and Furnaces has been underway for over two and a half years now and we are happy to say that the units are performing above expectations. We have a 110K Coal/165K Oil Boiler as well as a 220K Coal Boiler. Both units feature pressure vessels manufactured by Axeman-Anderson Company, a well known and excellent manufacturer of boilers. Additionally we have developed 110K and 220K coal furnaces with 1800 cfm fans and control via our tried and true Coal-Trol Thermostat that features variable speed fan control. All the units were succesfully tested per UL and CAN requirements last fall and are ready to keep your home toasty warm at minimum cost. The new AF type Power Vent units feature a centrifugal fan that does not clog with coal fly ash thus reducing maintenance. The AF series units have been certified for use on all Leisure Line products. We are currently working on a new design direct vent unit for use with the new 220K btu outdoor boiler. Stay tuned for pictures and test results. |
