Loving these comments! Wanted to address the few that took offense to the terminology "hose jockeys"… it was meant with endearment. The old man featured in this video was in the fire service for over 30 years and said, "we used to call each other way worse in the fire house".
Whoa...those rocks sure did save the day. Without them you would have surely lost the house, maybe the neighborhood.
i cant tell you how many house fires ive seen from people burning like this. also if you do it try picking a day with no or little wind
@@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.
@@monohydrate2 "It's a very painful", I don't believe you.
I enjoyed watching you burn your stump and branches. Thanks for sharing with us.
Great video, best part is the last 5 seconds. Thanks for creating and posting it.
The very reason I love living in the country
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.
Hell
ITS a great way to burn down a forest too! They smolder for days!
Hell
It's not Swedish it's a modi from Finland
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
Best commercial for stump grinding there is!
Like these videos because he talks you through them so you can understand how to do it , step by step!!! Thanks
The 'hammer blooper' gave me a good laugh 😂
That last part caught me off guard LOL
What a beautiful backyard
I believe the saying goes, "It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission"
That’s the tiniest chainsaw I’ve seen other than battery powered.
Doing this type of work is always a pain in the AAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
And then at the end you have a decorative ash pit ringed with rocks as a feature of the yard.
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.
nice out takes at the end and good job
Quite helpful but great entertainment!
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.
This was likely potassium chlorate.
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.
Believe it or not that "Stump Out" stuff is black powder precursor. It's the potassium nitrate part of the powder solution.
@@richard-christchurch-nz2807 Sodium meta bisulfite (sreetips uses it in his gold refining).
I saw your TH-cam short and decided to check out the whole video
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.
cordless everything rules. even chainsaws are good enough now.
"Not at the phone you *beep beep*"
😆🤣
I'm glad I waited until the very second to close the window.
You do realize that the reason the fire department showed up was because one of your neighbors called them.... right?
Karen
Hose jockeys, I had a good chuckle over that one. 😁
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.
Try fungus that devours dead trees. It’s super cheap
Hilarious last scene :)
That looks fun
Definitely a back yard project without a HOA 😀.... awaiting the barrel version....
You are correct!😅
Just need another stump!
if you live within HOA,,,you deserve whatever may happen to you,,,,
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!!
Nice work
Keep the bloopers coming😝
Absolutely!
Enjoyed it.
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 ⛏️🤔
Good video man!
You just made a very satisfying swedish torch :)
Modi
"Not at the phone" 😂😂
That tree did not look dead.
I used an old leaf blower with an old metal vacuum cleaner pipe (4' or longer), to focus the wind into the center, and it really sped things up.
The ash is love for the greens.
The little ECHO gave a good account of itself.
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!
IE: communism
You forgot to tell him how dangerous burning stumps is, because fire will spread to other parts of the property through the roots.
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 save my used cooking oil and grease for jobs like this, beats buying diesel oil.
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.
구독하고 갑니다 뭔가 기대 되는 채널이네요~!
At the phone looks so much cooler tho
The thing about fire is, it doesn't like to burn downward toward the ground.
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.
Yes, the prospect of burning stumps makes fire fighters cringe. Very bad idea!
Love a good back yard fire! Loved the bloopers too!
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.
$120 would buy plenty of beer and barbeque, as well as plenty of guys to help with the project.
maybe use old motor oil?
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.
but a drill bit and a gallon of diesel is less than ten dollars,,,,
Yeah leaf blower after it gets going speeds it up.
Cooking oil works well because of what makes it dangerous to use on the stove top. I'm not joking.
Yeah if you've seen a kitchen fire you know cooking oil can BURN🔥...but still safer than gasoline
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!
Just cut it short and put a patio table over et voila!
Very cool
You guys had fun and a good clean up so all good.
kkep them coming. Id love to see your barrel fire
If you make a fire, be sure to do so when it is cloudy. That way you are less likely to be spotted.
grea job
Nice work video, and narration. Hose jockeys! The slow motion attempt blooper was classic.😂
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

*Hose Jockeys*
😂😂😂
Took me 5 years to burn a stump in my moms backyard, was a hell of a “ 1 day project”
Physical removal i.e. stump grinder is ALWAYS the most efficient way to remove a stump and much of the attached root system!
Got the same saw, that thing does more than most people think
2 days of playing with the stump :D
All the local bush fire brigade's will depend on your place...
I'm from south dakota fire pit and a party woo hoo
I use a 50 gallon metal barrel cut in half with air holes shot into it, then use Kingsford original blue bag charcoal. You guys gotter done.
Those rocks don't look like they'd do a lot :)
I'll give yah an A for effort!
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.
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 burned out a huge stump by digging UNDER the stump...Oh yess...Talking about a weeks worth of digging...Creating chambers for airflow.....
"If you ask for permission it's your own fault" is the saying I know 😂
Drilling air holes would also speed up the burn.
nice bloopers
Charcoal briquettes work well too.
Yeah, be prepared to use 100 bags over a two week period
@@hyzercreek
😂😂😂
Seems like more work than just cutting it out.
Method sounded really good on paper but this looks like it takes more effort than it seems. Imo it looks too smelly and too dirty. The results to me after the initial burn also look really unsatisfactory and looks like you guys had to be more aggressive with the burning. I bet cleaning all the soot and ash was a real pain too, but thank you for sharing your experience. Very valuable video.
spade bit, and steel pipe below grade connected to leaf blower
Stumpcano, Stump St Helens, Stumpsuvius, I got a million of them 😂 good job
Those are great keep ‘em coming!
You burn stuff where I live, if the neighbors do see the smoke,they bring hot dogs and beer, help pile up the brush, roast hotdogs and drink beer.
The expression you were looking for is: "It's easier to get forgiveness then it is to get permission"!
😂😂😂NOT AT THE PHONE YOU F×××😂😂😂😂
Peter Parker knows his stuff
Barrel will help. Think chimney fire. Air in the bottom, and fire will be hotter (reduced smoke). It's like the "Smokeless Fire Pit" chimneys.
We set an open ended barrel over the stump and used it as a burn barrel until the stump was gone
Good suggestion especially in a sub!
Might want to look into fashioning a 'smokeless burn barrel' too..... takes down all the fly ash....
Plenty DIY instructions on line!
"It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission". That is the idiom.
drill deep holes and soak it with motor oil, wait a day or so so the oil can be absorbed then light and it wont go out.
yeah , needed to enclose it with a ring of cinder block
Good video ! What is the brand of chain saw? I am looking for one about that size to cut up some downed branches for firewood.
It’s an Echo! Model: CS-2511T
Only you prevent tree fires.
Thanks for showing us how not to burn a stump
Yeah, cluster f@#k 101.
Gasoline and throwing on more wood.
Then electric fans lol
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.
@@ElThomsono That's not unfair.
However, most of my gaffs where before age of the Internet.
Now you can research an article /watch a how to on pretty much any topic you can think of.
@@stuartburns8657 The way I see it is sometimes the fun is in just doing a task yourself and learning as you go, we get to watch for entertainment. Personally I've only ever dug stumps out, hard work but effective.
@@ElThomsono Again, the same, back breaking. Guess a little bit of me was perhaps again the use of fire and the fan. Seemed lazy lol
That is só clever man!? 👌👌 They are a pain in the neck and u had to make it into a usable thing, so birdtables🥴
5:40 "Not at the phone you fu..." hahaha
Should have a pot of chili cooking on the stump. Hose jockeys that’s hilarious 😂
Or s’mores!
By burning the stump does it promotes underground roots to decompose faster ?
Not at the phone. LOL
Pinal County Arizona, you can have a recreational fire two feet diameter, three feet high 365 days a year. Fire depart was told to go home. I dig around and down two feet, I burn all the left overs in the same hole. It can take days to burn one out Hard wood trees take longer. You needed a lot more digging before you lit it on fire. It is the best way to get rid of unwanted stumps or trees. Grinding a stump is a waste of time. I own 55 acres, and placing a burn barrel over the stump works well also.
Cool
Great video.... who would have thought. Click to check out and improve safety. The Gorillabac 3803 log drag, lift, position and hold tool. It is a must have for anyone who splits firewood. Improve Safety, split more wood and have fun! Made in the USA
I love this method… but I also heard people said this will lead to underground fire….
