Portage and Main Outdoor Water furnaces, management and staff would like to congratulate Richard Emmons, aka slim-jim, and extend our best wishes and good luck on his new venture. It has been our great pleasure to have worked together over the last few years with Richard. Richard has asked me to also extend a big thankyou to all the people on the forum, that he has communicated with over the last couple of years.

That being said, we would like all of our current owners and future Portage and Main boiler owners to know that they can always contact us directly, toll free at 1-800-561-0700 or thru email at products1@portageandmainboilers.com

The President of our company, Heat Smart Plus Inc., Brian Martin, and myself, the Sales Manager of Heat Smart Plus Inc.,would like to thank all previous customers, current owners, and new prospective owners for their patronage.
Good luck Richard!

Well stated Rory.  :thumbup:

Honestly, wherever SlimJim (Richard) goes, whatever he does, I am quite certain he will remain as helpful as he has ever been, maybe more.

Richard is proud to help consumers, friends, potential and existing outdoor furnace buyers/owners as well as perfect strangers in their desires to use alternative energy sources over big oil.  No matter the manufacturer, Richard is a consistent promoter of the wood/coal/biomass-burning boiler INDUSTRY and is an asset to delivering the alternative energy sources message.

In short, he is what my father would call "a good people."  Best wishes to Richard and his future endeavors!  -Scott

Rory and Sloppy, very well stated. Richard was a huge help when I was having troubles, even though we have never met personally.

Richard, you most certainly are "good people". Wishing you the best in your new endeavor.

I cannot put better words into text than what has been said above Richard (slimjim) was a huge influence on me joining this site prior to my OWF purchase. Always helpful and extremely knowledgable.  Best of luck with your new endeavor.
