A s a follow up to one of my previous posts on the Adobe problem I had noted that Mark from SJ Trailor
had promised to send replacement skins for the Adobe. This message confirms he was good to his word,
the new skins have arrived.

I have been traveling for some time now and haven’t had a chance to scout out Adobe’s shop. However, If someone here wanted to contact the nearby Bangor Daily News about investigating this problem, they may take it on. They do consumer complaints so this may be interesting enough for them. That should shake things up. Go to http://www.bangornews.com for contact info.

Has anyone noticed the Adobe website has been down for a couple of days?  I guess Phil made enough money to buy another $354,000 house along with all of his other properties.

Is Phil gone? Are we all out of options and stuck with these boilers? Anyone had any new thoughts? Live and Learn!

No Phil is’nt gone , he’s just moved to another neighborhood. I’m sure he’s preaching from the pulpit about how he’s such a nice guy. No he’s just doing what criminals do-- trying to disappear. PM me for more info.

Obviously he did’nt recognize your phone number-----He has’nt answered phone calls/returned phone calls or e-mails from PAID IN FULL hardworking customers in MONTHS. Still impatiently awaiting info from NY & ME Attorney Generals.

PUBLIC INFORMATION ON PHILLIP F. DOUGHERTY----- Phil’s new hideout is 25 Ashley Ave. , Glenburn ME 04401. His current Verizon landline phone number is 207-942-4890. He currently is a producer resident of insurance products in ME---License number PRR33517. His main gold producing business goes by the name of ASSociation Services located at 25 Ashley Ave. , Glenburn , ME. As for Adobe Boiler/Dirigo Manufacturing-- Phil states to the ME Attorney General that he has no ties to such . Funny , his web site has been down for over a month but he has a new phone number 775-636-9838. The message states due to the HIGH DEMAND OF FURNACES everyone needs to contact Phil at sales,service,parts, or (Here’s the real good one) dealers @ adobeboilers.com. So all you people that need to get ripped off ---e-mail Phil right away so he can get right back to you. Everyone needs to listen to this bullsh!t--- Phil no longer does his messages , he has his kid involved in his dirty work. Phil has taken six education courses in the past two years pertaining to ETHICS,INTEGRITY,and PRINCIPLES. How ironic, huh ? These all pertain to his insurance sales. How would you like to be a fly on the wall when he talks to the little old lady down the street about buying some life insurance. I’m sure all his honesty and integrity kicks in on the job , but he closes the deal with his talk about how he’s a god fearing man and his son just graduated from the Bangor Christian School. So everybody please support the poor guy - he needs to buy another $350,000 home. More to follow...........

To ALL who have dealt with or bought an Adobe Boiler from Phillip Dougherty, anyone who purchased a boiler and did’nt receive the correct one, anyone whose side panels rusted out in less than a years time, anyone who Phil refused to contact, anyone who had Phil refuse to honor the boiler warranty, etc., etc., etc. ALL PEOPLE who have had the typical less than satisfactory dealings with Phillip Dougherty must contact the Maine Attorney General and file a complaint. I have spoken with the Maine Insurance Bureau as Phil sells insurance products for a living. Mr. Hosford, attorney in Licensing, told me that he will contact the ME AG on Monday(06/30) to inquire about complaints against Phil. My mediator is Patricia Ohler and is in the office on Mondays from 11:00AM-4:30PM only . PLEASE contact her or someone else to pass on your story in time for Mr. Hosford to get the real/full story on Phil. As Phil is less than ethical in his sales of his wood boilers, this raises questions about his integrity with his insurance sales. PLEASE ANYONE WITH INFO ON PHIL---CONTACT THE MAINE AG ON MONDAY MORNING TO PASS ON YOUR STORY@ 207-626-8850. Thank you all.

Adobe 100 owner here. Bought in 2007 and started using about Dec 07. Rust on top in 2 months, but covered it with a panel on metal and been using until this week. Took back off today and pressure vessel totally plugged up with creasote. May put back on if I can and heat water till late fall, then rebuild totally. thinking about building out the sides back and top with 1/2 sqare tube and put in new insul if I can find it. Also hope to put steel back so I can take off to clean. Any ideas or feedback is welcome! Carl
