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 Coates Grills I remember as a kid, my father and grandfather cooking over an open pit. It was a family tradition and labor of love. We would spend time splitting the wood, carefully arrange a teepee, then light the coals and tend to them until hot. These steps were simply preparation. Next, we'd place a metal grate on top of the fire, and start cooking. There was no marinating, no steak rubs. The flavor of the wood and smoke was irresistible enough on its own. No matter how exceptional the food, it was never about the actual cooking, though. It was the experience of enjoyment and sharing, the many memories created that remain vivid for a lifetime. That is where the inspiration for Coates Grills came from ? I wanted to design a grill that looked unique, and allowed for a delicious and unforgettable experience. It has been a long journey, and one that encompassed a whole lot of research, testing and tweaking. I wanted to make sure every last detail of my grill would be the perfect fusion of beauty and functionality. For many, it has even become a favorite hobby to experiment with various woods in their custom Coates Grill. From oak, maple, hickory and mesquite to the fruitier woods such as wild cherry, apple or peach. This grill encourages you to want to cook - often, and with others! Sensational has never been so attainable! -Tom Coates |
