The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. 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. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. 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. |
