Stubborn old stump, let me introduce you to a nice hot fire! There are plenty of ways get rid of a stump. You could use stump grinder to chip it apart; sounds like fun, but I don't have one of those. You could cut it apart with an axe or a chainsaw. A little labor intensive, but it'll work. Or you can try to rot the stump - not a fast process. I got tired of waiting, and decided to try a modified "burn barrel" technique for my stump burning. This video will show the results.

    Every clip is basically the same for the "burn" method. But for me.... I'm dealing with a 6' diameter trunk. I have been mentally wrestling (here in the south: wrass-ling) with.... how to find a 6' diameter metal can..... I have an unlimited supply of roofing sheet metal and 1"×2" tube steel support beams..... After 40-50 clips, I finally found "the plan" that will suit my needs. THANK YOU for explaining the inefficiency of a bonfire and sharing your, as The Wizard of Oz calls it "clinking , clanking, clattering collection of collagnious junk" of an oven cooker....

    Today I had a tree stump grinded down by a tree service. Unfortunately, I live in a town that prohibit leaf/yard burning. But your method is an excellent burn method where allowed!

    That was fascinating, Jason. And you're quite the comedian, too.

    In the 50s a neighbor used what I've learned to be the easiest way to remove a stump! The stumps were Oak and about 4 times as big as yours. The method: As you did, he built a fire at the base but then he placed an old Electrolux vacuum's exhaust close enough to create a true "blast furnace". It took him a while but he accomplished this in the evenings sitting in a lounge chair with a beer in hand!!

    Similar idea of burning but mine wasn't a stump but to make biochar. I was told it was illegal plus fires can spread underground with roots and what not. I have a stump grinder ( company ) coming this week for removal. Save the burned materials as biochar. Great video love your idea and how it came to you by watching a murder....lol 🤣🤣 You are not only funny but brilliant too !! ❤️
  • @bettylane6982
    Hope you saved the ash and biochar (if any). Love your knowledge and videos. You have quite a beautiful view of the mountains, too.

    I usually put bird seed on top of the stump and every now and then try to remove the bark. Takes about a year but works quicker than i thought.
  • @adam1660
    weird reference about burning human remains, but practical advice
  • @TheDaspiffy
    Interesting. I saw another stump burn video where one hole was drilled in the stump from the top and then another hole was drilled in going sideways and a bit of lighter fluid was used to start the fire. It had the same effect but no additional wood was added for the burn.

    Making a murderer? Now we know the fertilizer you use to make those roses look so nice.

    My technique involves leaving the stump and adding a new garden around it. Cause I totally need another garden! 😎 🌸 💐 🌿
