Grills and Smokers

Grilling.  Nothing speaks more to the onset of nice weather than the wafting of BBQ laden grill smoke through the air. In the United States grilling is a summer tradition…and in this country we’ll grill just about anything…tofu? Throw it on the grill.

Fire Pits

Now that’s a fire!!  The fire pit, a convenient way to enjoy the warmth and ambience of a fire that is relatively portable and safe to put on most surfaces (following manufactures instructions of course).  Great for out door après ski gatherings, après day at the beach gatherings, a nice addition to your yard/patio for relaxing, camping… you name it. The made in USA options abound, from artisan pits with artisan prices (check out Ohio Flame, Breeo) to portable pits that either fold or slide apart (Fire Flower, Delta).  For pits that align more with big box store prices check out Evergreen Patio, which boasts the most reasonable price point.

Flip Flops

For many of us that reside in the more northern climates of the United States the arrival of spring and the transition into the warmer months is a welcome reprieve after a long winter.  The onset of warm weather brings with it a simplification of the daily ritual of getting oneself dressed and out of the house.  Gone are the multiple layers, the hats, the mittens…the boots.  Nothing represents the ease of summer dressing more that the flip flop.  As you transition into a simpler summer wardrobe and contemplate adding to, or replacing, this staple of American summer footwear take a look at our Made in USA picks.  Price range includes kids if available.
