@@itsjimmyo Anesthesia provider checking in. I worked in a burn operating room. Many people threw gasoline on debris and lit it on fire and ended up burning their entire body. Fire is so dangerous, it's a very painful and slow death. Chances of survival for full body burns is very low.
I cant even burn firewood in my chimney without my neighbors calling the fire department. That happened last Saturday. But then I live in California, the largest insane asylum in the world.
Making those cuts on the stump created a "swedish stove log" which is a great way to make a camp fire stove in the woods and is also a great way to fuel a fire as the slits create enough air flow to keep the fire hot as hades.
If you do that in a park or government land and start a fire you will go to prison. That's not the way to create a fire in the woods. You would have a forest fire in no time
Had to have an old red maple cut down, maybe a little bigger than your tree. That cost me 1000 dollars. Then stump grinder came over and said 800 to grind that stump. Went down to 775 after much protesting. Other "stump grinder" came out and said he didn't have the right equipment and didn't give me a price. Now i see how nice your stump looks after burning. Of course I am going to burn this thing out. Thank you.
@@RifleyPL If you don't mind wating 2-3 years. Easiest thing that no one wants to do is dig out around the stump a foot or so, and chainsaw slots and as many holes down low towards center of the tree before firing it up. That extra 30 min work will get air pulling in below the fire to really help it burn fast, and when it finally is done its mostl/all below ground.
After drilling the holes, I would have poured some cooking oil over it all a few times. I have to give you guys credit, you guys really worked your butts off on this project.
I cut down a 50" diameter Hackberry at my late friend property we did the same method u just reminded me of our hardwork and how appreciative he was cutting down a Dangerous Hazzard.
I used this stuff called "Stump Out" made by a company called Bonide, it's a granular mixture that kills the tree and accelerates decomposition of the stump. I had a 10" English Walnut tree that was completely healthy when I cut it down. I drilled four 1" holes vertically down into the stump about 4-5" with a spade bit and filled them with the mixture and then filled the holes with water, I then covered the stump with a bucket to keep my animals safe (these were the directions on the label). The stump seeped water out of the holes for over two weeks and it was completely dried out in about 90 days, the wood was now very spongy & brittle, the tree was as dead as Caesar. Instead of digging it out I went with label option #2 - I took four hot charcoal briquets from my chicken BBQ and placed them over those holes after I drilled intersecting holes that came in at 90 degrees from he sides to draft. The stump burned like a coal (no flames) for most of the day, it even burned the roots that went down and branched out 12-18" underground! When it quit smoking I squirted the ashes with the garden hose and had to add a bunch of dirt to level the hole it left, great stuff and it's all I use now on anything 6" or bigger. A jug of Stump Out (16oz, enough to do my tree) was less than $8.00 at Home Depot and it did ALL of the work.
Sulfuric acid works well, just drill hole and pour it in. I can imagine if you get high percent of acid, not the watered down stuff, it would eat the stump away in days not week. The acid from the mine is rates like 100% and if you were to get it on you would be going to a hospital. I would love to get some of that stuff.
I went to a battery operated chainsaw by Makita and love it. We had stumps at our lake cabin so last summer I did about the same thing just kept adding wood like a campfire and eventually the stump was below ground level. That was a very satisfying project.
I too am a retired fire fighter, I find it funny that you refer to us as hose jockeys. But, I challenge anybody to drag 50ft of fire hose around in a burning building.
I challenge any tough guy 250# firefighter to get on a 1000# racehorse and control it at a full gallop ! Those little guys are tough as nails.... you should be proud to be compared to a jockey! They are fearless!
Good advice on the gasoline. I have an uncle who spent six weeks in the burn unit because he lit a hornet nest with gas. The vapors exploded and it didn't go well for him. My fuel of choice for this kind of project is diesel. It works well, is cheap, and doesn't have explosive tendencies at normal temperatures.
You say grinding stump that would cost $50 and up to rent machine or to get some one to do it would be even higher the home did good and has the money in his pocket and not someone else's ⛏️🤔
If you can deal with smoke, pile grass clippings on it as you burn it. It insulates the fire and the stump slow burns for a couple days and completely obliterates all root systems.
I had the wonderful experience of clearing a fresh fell tree stump by BBQ on top of the cut stump closed to the ground much easier than your method. I simply surround the stump with bricks to form a basin/pit and filled it with charcoal. We had a wonderful BBQ and left it alone and went to bed. When we awoke, the pit caved in. The stump gone and with over bunrt clay which we dug out for gardening. No smoke, no dust but some investment over the purchase of charcoal.
I did burn a massive stump a long time ago by soaking the lot in sump oil and keep adding for about 4 days then use some diesel with some stiks all over the stmp to keep burning for 3 day and 3 nights.There was nothing bus ashes left after 4 days
Works for a yard that is mostly cleared, but if you have a wooded lot or a lot that has a lot of stumps and forest nearby you could start a root fire, and they can travel miles over months and resurface.
Diesel is cheaper than cooking oil. Although you might be able to get used oil for free. Motor or cooking. Let it soak in for a week. I like how you cut up the stump & roots. Adding big holes was good too.
I'm sure everything you've ever tried for the first time has worked perfectly; had it not you'd certainly not have told anyone let alone put it on TH-cam for entertainment and education.

Congratulations on the successful stump burn. 🎉 In addition to the barrel, consider also using the leaf blower to force more air into the barrel and a lid on the barrel to make the fire hotter and retain more heat.
A 1" auger bit around the base would have sped up the process and a little bit of diesel fuel would have helped with the roots. Great way to get rid of your trimmings!!
Exactly! Got one of those for a deck project, and now I've got ~10 stumps to also remove. 10-15 mins digging around each stump, long auger bunch of holes down the center and a bunch from the sides drilling into the center. I'ma cheat and try some cheap DIY thermite, but will soak a few days with diesel and a rain tarp.
My dad provided me a barrel to burn old furniture, wood and tree cuttings of my new place. Drilled holes in it down low... Oh my god! It worked like the engine of an F-16! The airflow that gets sucked in to the holes and provides the fire of oxygen is working like snowball effect. It's amazing how fast it burns in a barrel/drum, it doesn't even matter what you thrown in it.
Because of that fact, I have used old cooking oil to start fires on Wood piles or trash piles where I used to live. Once it reaches ignition point , well, you know!
In my fire district we issue burn permits and if we get called out to a burn like this (without a permit), we'll jockey our hose right up to it & put it out if you're not willing to come down to the station to get a permit. The idea of the permit is so when neighbors or passersby call in the fire, they won't call us out, so we're not wasting time & resources!
I just called up our local FD and told them what I was going to do, and gave them my address. They just asked when and if I had enough water in case of emergency.
My tenants did this ... later that night the fire that was smoldering inside the tree's extensive root system erupted in their back yard when it burned through to where it could get more oxygen and fuel. The fire department was not happy.
They get paid by the hour, the county has fire regulations. Most likely totally legal, considered a recreational fire. Tell the fire Department to bring over the steaks.
Interesting video. Only thing I think was rather short-sighted was cutting the stump so high. Should have cut it as close to the ground as possible, then put as many cuts in the remaining stump as possible. Hollow out as much as possible, then drill a bunch of holes in it and let some diesel soak in over a night or two. A Dollar-Store tarp over it to keep it from rain. I've got a ton of existing stumps on my property, so I'm doing similar but gonna play with some DIY thermite.
While accelerants, barrels, air-flow cuts and holes, forced air, piling on a bunch of fuel and constant tending over days do have their place, it's always best to remember that heat and fire rise and therefore burn any wood above the flame faster, while burning down, especially into wet, green wood embedded in a heat sink (the ground) burns the wood more slowly. Which is why I always dig out under the roots as much as I can, and pile any firewood under them, setting my fire as much below the stump as I can, or at least low down on it. Makes for a lot faster burnout, with a lot less tending. The extra digging is of course labor intensive, but so is all the messing with it one needs to do to burn the stump down into the ground.
We once had an ash tree stump in the backyard. The tree had died, so we cut off all the branches and most of the trunk, leaving just over two feet of it. We used a chainsaw to carve out a hole in the middle of the trunk, filled it with good soil, and planted a geranium. The plant thrived there, turning the stump into a great planter for several years until it finally rotted away and could be easily removed. After that, we planted a tree peony in the same spot, and for the next few years, it bloomed beautifully with lots of flowers. It's a great idea if anyone wants to give it a try...
That's a great way to take two days to accomplish what a grinder could do in 30 minutes. Given that you had all the other stuff to burn, what you did makes sense. But if all you want to do is remove the stump, a grinder is $120 for half a day.
I own 55 acres if I paid $120 for every stump I've burned out, I would be broke., besides the extra stuff burned , helps keep the vegetation down. Buy beer and steaks with the $120. Cook them on the fire.
@@troyb.4101 there are certainly benefits to burning. But you've extrapolated my option (directed at a single stump removal) a little too far. I think if someone has 55 acres of stumps to remove, a bulldozer would be a better solution than grinding, lol.
Make sure fire is "overhauled" so as not to generate a root fire. Important to contact F.D. prior to burning to get "fire risk status" and call when your are done.
Echo CS-2511T. It's a commercial grade saw so its not their cheapest. But it is one of their smallest chainsaws. It can easily be held and used with one hand. We haven't had any issues with it and certainly have pushed it to its limits on occasions.
My favorite method for stump burning is a small excavation below two big roots for a small fire fed by a small fan. Remember: wood doesn't really burn, but the vapors from heated are very flamable, so if you can keep your fire under the stump, where the flames can heat the stumpwood above.........
Not sure the term " Hose Jockeys" is a good way to build good will in your locale. No, I am NOT a Fire Fighter. You have some good ideas on burning out the stump with a steel drum/barrel, this is the way a neighbour of mine used to do it; this does work well, and burns deep too.
