The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel. 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. |
