Thank you for taking the time to make a video! Ignore the negative comments.

Sooo...basically drill a bunch of holes, fill with veg oil then burn a whole bag of charcoal on it for 3 days....my friend, this is GENIUS! Now, if only I knew a way to get rid of a burnt stump that smells like veg oil.

Do I have a stump to remove? No. Am I about binge this entire series? You're damn straight.

"Its all a matter of additude" is a great thing to keep in mind. Apply it daily to a million different situations. Thanks Marsh Rat!

I have done about the same thing but I put honey in the holes and the stump got full of bugs going after the honey and then the big red headed wood peckers went after the bugs they took the stump out. I would get me a cup of coffee in the morning set on the front porch and watch them work

With a stump that dry I would have poured kerosene/charcoal lighter fluid all over the top and let it soak in good and then lighted it. Generally the heat from the dry wood burning will dry out the moist wood and there is a good chance that the fire will continue to smolder and burn a good ways into the ground as it follows the roots. Stump gone and roots probably gone as well after a few days.

The most entertaining part of this video were the splendid numerous comments! Kept me in stitches 😂

thank you so much. i have been looking for weeks on how to remove my yard (its a giant stump, just to be clear). this enormously aided me in my adventure of life. one quick question though... what kind of pen do you recommend to mark the stump? thank you and god bless your kind soul.

I like this guy lol I think I'm gonna do this for the 2 stumps in my yard.

"8 quadrants" Love it!

I had some stumps like Marsh Rat, but found that after drilling the holes with an electric drill which works better, I filled the holes with saltpeter, or potassium nitrate which I had leftover from an old recipe from making Polish sausage. After 6 months to a year, I took my sledgehammer and pulverized the stumps, and filled the area with dirt & sod I got from another part of my yard,. Takes a little time, but you get some satisfaction and exercise from knocking the stumps apart with almost no cost.

For those interested in just killing a stump (making sure the little sprouts stop growing from it) use plain old ordinary table salt. Pour a generous portion of salt over the top of the stump and repeat once after it disappears due to rain or wind. That will make the stump dead.

No drilling; no oil; just beer! A neighbor removed oak stumps 4 times that size. He built a small fire at the base and placed an old vacuum's exhaust directly on that creating a forge. It took weeks but sitting there with a beer made the time enjoyable.

Thought you were going to put a stick of Dynomite in there when I saw you pull out the drill. Now that would be fun!

It ain't much but it's honest work.

Great job man!

Did something similar about 20 years back on a buddies farm but instead of using vegetable oil to fill holes we drilled we filled them with black powder. once we had holes filled with powder when got a piece of round dowel that fit tight in holes,cut them to about 1" to 2" then drilled a hole through the dowel to install some cannon fuse. once all holes in stump were plugged with dowel and fused we lite it, jumped on our quads and rode about 100yrds away and about 20sec later that stump was gone and nicely mulched up although it was scattered about a good 30yrds from where stump was. lmfao

Marsh rat you wpyld be good to buy the 20v adaptwr for your 18v drill. It sure makes those older dewalt drills run better with the new 20v max batteries.

"What I like to do is.......mark it off in 8 quadrants." Neat trick if you can do it.

Awesome, keep looking up!

Years back I drilled holes and spread syrup into the holes in the fall. The syrup sped up the rot and the bugs loved it and ate the stump faster. It was gone the next summer. Any maple or cheap sugary syrup works.

I saw 'part 1' and changed my mind. I don't want to spend all night on stump removal. Three hours from now it may be part 16.

Eight quadrants? I thought “quadrant“ meant four....LOL

1:05 "what I like to do is just try to mark it off into quadrants" *just running a pencil across the stump at seemingly random* "now it dont gotta be exact."

Wow 18 million views, congrats partner

Acquire an inner tub from an old washing machine, start a small fire on the stump, put the tub over the stump, upside down. That will leave a 4 inch hole on top to drip whatever accelerate you care to use. A 5 gal bucket with a copper line installed close to the bottom, and value to adjust flow, sitting on a table of some kind. You want a steady drip, not a constant flow, and the tubing should go down inside the tub a few inches so the wind, if there is any, won't blow the oil off target. The tub will hold in heat, keep out the rain and wind, and allow you to burn without worry of the fire getting out of control. Will burn a dry stump to ground level in a couple of days, and will burn out the whole tap root if you don't mind filling a 2 foot deep hole.

Tiki torch oil works really good burns a long time.

such a sweet nice man Love you!

And the stump still there. Great job

Quad means 4. Quadrant means 4 spaces. No worries, i understood what you meant. Can't wait to watch part 2

When he was done drilling the holes i actually JUST stopped myself from blowing at my monitor to blow the sawdust away! Force of habit i guess :p

Vegetable oil? Dang, I thought this was going to involve long auger bits, dowel pins, Elmer’s glue, Estes model rocket igniters and black powder. 😂 With the hood up on a ‘72 Chevy pickup: “Now, hold my beer and watch this!”

I don't know why the hell I watched this: I don't even have trees. But I enjoyed the fatherly kindness of the narrator. I guess I'll watch the other parts.

That can easily create an underground fire and if you live near a forest like me could burn down the whole thing. For people that don't have fire open field and fire as an option: Make use of colder climate!! During the days/nights when things reach negative degrees pour water into the holes. That will make the water freeze, expand and destroy the wood from the inside. It will also rot the wood so you will be able to remove the stump in pieces with an axe afterwords. Can be a slower process since it takes a while but it's the best I could come up with...

When he said it will take a while, I wasn't expecting it to be a whole month!
