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 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 |
