In this video I’m burning the old stump, to free up the space for a new tree.

  • For anyone needing to do this; get a large metal garbage can, drill out large ventilation holes around the top, cut out the bottom of the can, so now you have a semi-conical tube with the ventilation holes being at the new bottom. Place the can over the largest portion of the stump you want to remove and begin filling up the can with sticks, branches and other materials to be burned and start your fire from the bottom of the contained materials through one of the ventilation holes. Once started, the contained bonfire will draw air in from the holes at the bottom of the can and the fire will eat through the stump rapidly. There’s videos on YouTube that show this process better than I’ve described it.
  • I sure do like this gadget. It’s time someone came to the rescue of us folks with bad backs. ❤❤❤❤❤
  • Where I live I can’t burn on my lawn by law. It’s hard to get rid of unwanted vegetation. Like your video.
  • What an effort! I have a big stump that is only just starting to break down after 10 years, so you definitely saved a few years.

    I like the idea of using charcoal and wood together. Also Alex's comment below is the right way to do it.
  • Nice video. If you weren't in a hurry that would make a perfect fire pit site to sit around with drinks in the evening. Eventually the stump would be gone and could move on to another stump if you had one.
  • Good job! Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen other videos where guys put a barrel around the stump. Seems to do a good job of making the heat more intense and accelerating the process.

    Why not just use the old stump as a fire-pit/barbeque grill? You could do most of your cooking there for several months and kill two birds with one stone!

    Do NOT burn everyday. This is to be done every Saturday with BEER over 8-10 weeks. BEER is good !
  • My Bro !!! you are going to think that I am pulling your leg when I tell you this little secret but , you go to the grocery store & buy a quart of buttermilk & pour it all over the exposed cut on the stump & just sit back & wait !!! in no time at all you will see the wood start to break down & rot away as the months & years go by !!! & that is the truth !!!

    The jackfruit is going to be very happy in that spot👍

    Just removed three stumps that are over ten years old. Two small ones popped out, no problem at all. The biggest one took three days of digging.
  • Oh my, we hired tree service & it cost $100 roughly per stump. Wonderful project, my kids would like something like this!
  • I use a burn barrel, diesel fuel, and lots of old wood on my stumps. A chain saw looks helpful.

    I feel your pain. I'm still in the middle of burning one my giant Oak tree too. I'm moving a lot slower than you tho. Hopefully I will be able to finish burning it by early spring lol. Good job!
  • The Jackfruit tree stump will be a major clean up when the time comes.
  • @colo5220
    Lol 😂, there was how my neighbor burned down this house. 😅

    You can always pay someone with a stump grinder service $400 and for no additional charge they'll do $400 in damage to your yard.
