The stove driving license teaches you how to fire correctly
In order to be able to train as many owners of wood-burning stoves as possible at the same time, the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer has decided to cooperate with the Ofenakademie. This offers an online course lasting around 90 minutes in which stove owners can learn how to heat with wood correctly. "By teaching proven techniques and practical knowledge, we teach our participants how to operate their stoves more efficiently, thereby making a positive contribution to environmental protection and significantly reducing their cleaning costs at the same time," explains Max Kummrow, founder and Managing Director of Ofenakademie. "In addition, graduates can save money in the long term because they need less wood for the same heat yield. A recent survey of our course graduates showed that they now save an average of a third of their firewood consumption thanks to their newly acquired knowledge."
Information event in the concert and stage house
Anyone interested in the stove driving license is cordially invited to an information event. On Monday, November 18, 2024, at 6.30 pm in the concert and stage house, climate manager Leon Schlüter of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer, Michael Hieckmann, owner of the company Binn Kachelofen- und Kaminbau and chimney sweep Tobias Basten and Stefan Potratz will provide comprehensive information about the differences between various types of wood, climatic effects and much more. "We are delighted to be able to give the people of Kevelaern lots of valuable tips on the subject of fireplaces and wood-burning stoves at our event. The advantages of both actively contributing to climate protection and saving money on heating speak for themselves," says Verena Rohde, Business Development Manager and Head of Kevelaer Marketing.
