Nope. In fact, American Energy Systems sent me an email a few years ago that their Baby Countryside model is being phased to "Global Manufacturing" When I asked if that meant "Made in China" they said yes, but it meant better pricing for us. I said great. Within a week the stove was off my floor and got sold at a discount. I have NOT sold one since. I have actually told customers I wouldnt sell them one when they would call about it. It's not that I hate China, I just try to do things as locally as possible. This applies to home and business. When time to replace the dish washer and fridge, I went extra and bought a Bosch dishwasher, because I could barely afford it. The fridge ended up being a Kenmore. Like I said, when I can, I can. If China, or any other non North American country was the sole supplier of pellet stoves and I had no choice, they would have my business. But if there is a choice, and I can afford to do it, I look at labels and try to keep my money as local as possible, right down to trying to shop in the town I live in.
Even in these tough times, there are still some folks out there who care enough to do their small part. Now I dont expect everyone to do it, and I dont do it all the time ( I drive a Honda). Now, if we are to stick to the facts and not politics, I know the person who imports the Hudson River stoves. I Know him personally and I have known him for decades. I still wont sell the stove, not only because of the China thing, I just think they arent good stoves. I base that on feedback I get from folks that own them.
