Made in CHINA!!!
This is not made in America! You are known as one of the last great "Made in the USA" companies but when it comes to your accessories, you source them out to China??? And there is nothing on your website description to tell us this. Knowing that everyone buys your stuff because it is American made means that by not telling us these are made in China, you are purposefully misleading us. Shame on you. Especially because for this price anyone would assume it is made here because if it is made in China it should be a lot cheaper. Either lower your price accordingly AND tell us that these are made in China, or keep the prices high but make them here in the US. There are plenty of empty factories all over this country that can easily accomodate your needs, AND all the while employing Americans. If you need help finding some let me know, I can find you half a dozen in no time, with employees ready to go. Your last couple of years in business have been great for you, likely with record profits, even though without moving production outside the country. Don't cheap out on us now. I was just in my local hardware store giving the manager an earful for carrying a Chinese skillet brand, especially because they were the same price as yours. Keep up the good work - keep making your stuff in the USA - but stop outsourcing.
I didn't even unpack this - I am returning it. Sure, I have to deal with tons of Chinese products but I spend a lot of money on Lodge products specifically because they are American made so I refuse to support products of theirs that they have outsources.
