Renewable solid fuel logs for wood burners, open fires, chimeneas, stoves and camp fires. Fuel Britannia Straw logs, a versatile fuel for indoor or outdoor heating.
Family team Tom Smith, John Smith and Caroline Knox have diversified their farming business to create an alternative and renewable biofuel from sustainable straw production on their farm.
Since moving to the Isle of Wight in 1983 there have been many changes
in their farming enterprises. Originally, dairy farmers from the Clyde
Valley in Scotland the Isle of Wight's sunnier climes offered new opportunity
to produce fresh produce including potatoes, cauliflowers, sweet corn
and carrots.
Latter years saw the business concentrate on potatoes and wheat crops
then, recently, further simplification has resulted in the growth
of only crops which can be harvested by combine. These are currently
wheat, peas and oil seed rape.
For some time the family has had the ambition to provide an end product from their land. Recently Caroline Knox has created Oil of Wight Cold Pressed Rape Seed Oil for culinary use. Now, the initiation of Fuel Britannia Straw Logs also provides an alternative fuel, grown on the family's farm, ready for use in the home.
Fuel Britannia Straw Logs are a clean, effective and green biofuel for use in your home and garden for summer or winter heating
Five Log Packs
Each pack of 5 logs weighs approximately 5kg and is available in weatherproof recycled plastic packs
. A tonne of logs is available to wholesalers on pallets
containing 200 packs. Half and quarter tonne pallets can also
be distributed. These are ideal forecourt display packs as the logs
are fully sealed.
10Kg Sacks
Smaller log segments are available in 10kg packs with a handle. The mini
logs are suitable for all uses. The sacks prevent some moisture absorption
but they do require undercover retail and storage.
Group visits or school visits can be coordinated with Caroline Knox to demonstrate the diversity of food and fuel produced on British farm land.
