    I came for the barrel, wanted to see the barrel, you’re good, was quite interesting and just fun to hang out and watch.

    Firebug here, ok so all your heat is going out the top. So what if you big some dirt then put the drum on but cut. 2 or 3 inch hole near the top, add some steel pipe and connect the leaf blower to that. Start your fire, put the lid on, start the blower and force the fire out around the bottom. Great video.

    • @LivingCommonSense
      @LivingCommonSense  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That would probably be better than what I did here. The best I found is covering the fire with a domed piece of metal such as a small satellite dish. It keeps the heat directly on the stump but still vents out the bottom as you suggested.

      You’ve got a good eye, I never saw that live or while editing. I can’t tell what kind, way too slow for a ribbon snake. Copperheads are common here and they give live birth in litters of 6-10. The small ones are more dangerous than the grown adult ones. Thanks for the heads up.

    Ever have a stump’s roots burn underground? I had a stump smolder for weeks because it was still on fire underground.

    • @LivingCommonSense
      @LivingCommonSense  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've never had that happen though I typically burn fresh cut green stumps. It takes some effort to keep those going to the point of they go out fairly quickly once I stop tending to them.

    How long did it take you to burn that stump out?

    • @LivingCommonSense
      @LivingCommonSense  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Probably 3-4 days but that sounds way more time than I spent. I'd spend 10-15 minutes loading the barrel/getting the fire going then mostly leave it alone until it burned out, then repeat. I played with this one some more to get some interesting video but rebuilding the fire a couple times a day is all the time it really takes.

      It does cost a bit more, but I use charcoal. It packs around the stump and stays where ya want it better than firewood. Good video.🫡

    If you add 4' of stovepipe onto the exhaust, you will get it to draw air on ita own. Rocket stove concept.

    • @LivingCommonSense
      @LivingCommonSense  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I do have and tried this on another stump and it burned wood well, like a stove, but it took a lot of wood. I think since the exhaust draws heat up and away, it takes more BTUs to get it done. This would probably make a good wood stove though.

      What do you think happens to it in the landfill it leeches into our water it sits there for hundreds of years contaminating the ground yeah I imagine it puts out some pretty nasty chemicals but over time those are far easier to deal with than sitting in the ground leaching into our water breaking down and then we get microplastic in our water because of all the crap they throw in the landfilled

      @@LivingCommonSense It would have been better. Burning plastics is a big no no, the compounds released are extremely toxic both in the air and when they leach in to the ground. Landfill sequestering is the safer option.
