The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. 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. |
