Nice video. I remember my dad using an axe making the curtain an X shape and pouring gas on the stump in our back yard about 40 yrs ago. It was summer time I got to stay up late til 3-4 am on fire watch w/my cousin. We thought that was so great.pitched a tent in case we wanted to sleep. He hid the gas csn somewhere cause we were fire bugs as teenagers 12-13 yrs old. That stump was so huge and tree was so old it was hollow in places dad said as him n a buddy cut it down. Our stump was 5x larger than the one in video. Thunderstorm broke half of it down so dad finished it off. We used sticks as well to keep fire going all night. We fell asleep in lounge chairs after 4am. Dad took over at 5am and it burnt about 6-8 inches below ground level. He got to use more gas tho. We woke up at 3pm. We were kids it was summer break. We felt like we lost a summer day. Lol. I enjoyed your video very much my friend. Similarities from 40 yrs ago.

I used your stump burning method last weekend. Burned two 20" dia pine tree stumps. Method worked great. There was a slight fall breeze for couple days. Thanks for posting this. God bless.

Got the idea from your video! Started a fire it worked great! Didnt put any fuel on it just burned it. It burned then soldered for 4 days and it went 1 foot below the ground. Kept near it with hose just in case. This was at least a 3 foot wide all around and 1.5 foot high stump. Cheap and affordable project. To rent a stump grinder is $150 at home depot didn't want to spend that. So I saved myself money! Thank you!

Slightly simpler method needs 2 cuts (seeing you have so many Stumps): 1 Push down into the center as deep as possible, just a slit straight down. 2 Cut or Drill from the groundline (even better, dig a few spades and go as deep as the stump) sideways into the main "chimney" You get a | L| kind of Shape, Chimney and Air intake. Prime the chimney, wait, done. Gets more even if you have 4 Air-intakes Radially.

In the beginning of your video, when you're using your chainsaw to cut the plus symbol into the stump, you can see that the chainsaw is throwing a lot of fine sawdust. That's always your best indicator that your chain needs sharpening. When your chainsaw is sharp it will throw big chips if wood, but never sawdust. Good luck. I enjoyed your video.

In Australia we do it like this: First cut the bottom and top out of an oil drum. Place over the stump leaving an air gap at the bottom using some timber or brick chocks and put your charcoal or wood inside. Pour in a bit of sump oil and light. When the fire is really hot place a sheet of galvanized roofing iron on top. The fire will soon go out but will continue to smolder as the drum creates a draft and contains and focuses the heat even if it starts to rain. Course it tends to make a heck of a lotta smoke but that keeps the mossies and blowies away as well as the Mrs if she starts wingin' 'bout the effect on the washing. After15 hours or so the stump and all the roots will burn out without having to relight it several times. No worries. Fair Dinkum mate.

Forget all the critics - cheaply and effectively. You removed your stump without having to buy anything or rummage for a drum. In the meantime, toasting grilled cheese on that fire at night with a bottle of Jack sounds like a great way to spend a late evening. Personally, looking at that property, I'm likely to have left the stump as a "utility table" when you sit on the bank, or tie a line to it for the boat or something. ALSO, for critics, this video also served as a discussion of other methods of removing a stump, so don't be harsh. This was a good, honest video.

My uncle Sonny used the exact same method on his farm to get rid of medium sized stomps back in the 50's when I was a kid. He did one additional thing after the stump was burning on its own. He would take a 55 gallon barrel punch a couple of holes into it then turn it over onto the stump. It allowed the stump to continue burning but slowed down the wind and contained the heat so there was no stump left in the morning.

Great video. Really nice guy and I could tell you enjoyed helping fellow DIYers. Thanks.

Ingenius! You know...almost every video I've seen that bad-mouths stump burning inevitably shows some guy who doesn't know how to create a good campfire. Your method creates a draft and chimney effect from multiple directions...which is smarter than just drilling some holes at the base of the stump. You also create 4 smaller quadrants, instead of one big cylindrical chunk. Most of all, you make the point that it requires a slow, steady burn for an extended period. Very helpful video. Thanks!

Was a practical and inexpensive method you demonstrated in the removal of a stump!!!

Of all the methods I viewed on "Fool Tube", this one seemed to make the most sense, so I tried it, with the exception of using more sticks for fuel than what was presented. I got things started with a little diesel and let it smolder for a couple days. It was cheap, effective and trouble-free.

@bobcampbell1932

My experience, (for 60 years, I'm 78), exactly! On occasion, in the dark, I've seen red glow some feet down. The magic is the super heated surrounding earth that will maintain burning conditions between small drafts of air fighting down to replace the rising burned gasses. That is unavoidable, the conditions cannot create a vacuum and heat WILL ALWAYS rise. This will only occur in wood that leaves little to no residual ash when burned completely. Most hardwoods will generate a smothering ash, limiting the depth of burn.

The cuts you made demonstrate a fire-making technique known as the Swedish Torch/Candle. If you make the cuts wider, you can build the fire inside the stump without using diesel fuel. I wouldn't suggest to anyone that they go to bed and leave this burning in a strong wind. I burned a stump once and the fire spread through the dead roots, igniting leaves far from where I'd cleared.

Apparently you've never seen a KZread video or a video on Instagram where someone takes a hand auger and drills the holes and then puts some of the sawdust back in it and sits it on fire with a few sticks. And in this video this guy is burning more sticks than he is wood. The whole purpose is to burn the stump. Not burn a bunch of sticks on it. And if you have a chainsaw you can cut more Cuts than just an X. You can cut a double x. The more airflow the better. And as I stated if it's a fresh cut on a living tree the sawdust will be damned but if it is been dead and it's a dead standing tree that shouldn't be a problem.

Awesome. This just fixed my problem and saved me $500! 👍🏼

I can remember as a child watching my relatives get rid of stumps. They would dig about 2-3 feet down beside the stump (allow for a plow) and then put hot coals around the stump. Worked really well. Takes about one night to complete the burn. Disadvantage - hard work digging the hole. Then fill the hole up with dirt.

I don't know if you will read this, but the easiest way I found to burn a stump out was Charcoal Briquettes. What I did was built a ring of bricks around the stump just slightly higher than the top of the stump, then dumped the already coals on top the stump and in a matter of hours it was burned down to the ground level. I added more Briquettes but I don't know that I really had to. I think the ring of bricks concentrated the heat. In the morning there were little steam fissures all over the yard where the roots were burning.

very nice way to get rid of stump. good job

First of all, make sure the chainsaw blade is very sharp (yours obviously wasn't). After cutting the cross, measure the depth of the cut in the centre, and mark the chainsaw blade about two inches longer than this measurement. Now point the chainsaw straight down and cut straight down with the tip of the chainsaw until the mark on the blade is level with the top of the stump. You should leave the sawdust in there as this will soak up some of the diesel and will help the fire burn in the bottom of the stump. After the first soaking with diesel oil and standing for a day or two, put about the same amount on again and let that soak for a day. Now add a bit of gasoline to light the fire. The sawdust will burn and will make sure the stump is burning in the bottom as well as the top. It will burn down much faster that way. We did ours this way and it was pretty fast.

You'll be happy to know before you croak that Neal will suffer from tinnitus due to lack of hearing protection. :-)

You got a sizeable property with stumps? I mean acres of property and 20 stumps? Rent a backhoe for a day with a narrow digging bucket. Dig them up out of the ground with deep digs on four sides of the stump. Takes 15 minutes or so per stump. 20 minutes for a big ol' stump (30+ inches diameter). The stumps come up with most of the roots, too. Throw all the stumps in a burn pile and you are done in one day. Your property looks fantastic, and your job is done.

Incredible video. One of the best displays of DYI I've ever seen. I have issues with various stumps, and I'll be trying this. Great job! Question....how long was the stump drying/sitting, before you burned it? I take it this wasn't a "green tree", freshly cut? Thanks.

Thank god for this video. Until I saw this tutorial I was stumped.

Thank you for convincing me to rent a stump grinder.

It would go a bit faster if you drilled out a hole in the center as well...

This was amazing. Thank you for sharing this,

Thanks for the tip!

Hey mate.. In Australia that stump can keep going undergound for weeks, sometimes months. dirt will not stop it.. We have an issue here with this situation starting bushfires. Be careful what you say.

This is great for the unemployed that have nothing better to do.

In many areas this can cause a forest fire so keep an eye on the process at all times, if there is a large root system the fire can pop up in other areas.

Yup. There is a fire thats been burning up north (alaska) for a little over 40 years. Its burning under ground, roots are the fuel. It dampers down in winter and smolders back to life in the spring. Up in the tundra.

He left the fire. Went to sleep and can back out in the am. Completely irresponsible and dangerous.

@@zedwpd @13:50 ish in the video he said we will leave it for the night. Then comes back at about (@12:40ish) 7:30 at night and said this is the last check when he is filming clearly in the dark…soooo he himself says so.@ 17:05 “well here we are in the morning” Where you there. Do you have any info he had a fire watch later in the night? It’s not discussed in the video so… Either his communication skills are lacking or he did exactly what he said he did. What evidence do you have to prove otherwise?

Thanks for this good info Neal!! I have one very low to the ground like maybe 3 inches hmmm

Cool n informative video. Would have placed a cot n slept overnight by the "camp fire". Kudos for vid. New subscriber because of it. Looking forward to ur next one. Aloha from Hawaii

Rapha94 he said patience is the key to this. Once you get it going you let it be and let it do its thing with a little encouragement along the way. 😊

The chainsaw noise was less irritating than the music.

Seems to me you could have saved a lot of time accomplished the same by cutting the stumps off flush at ground level with your chainsaw... just saying!

@@c.r.hoodheritagefarms8825 Where that stump is located I suppose that would be acceptable but on a lawn or more used area using a chainsaw will still leave a lot of stump above ground level. You cannot cut flush with the ground, beleive me I've tried. So this is a good technique as t leaves the stump residue actuallly below ground level, and as he says the stump itself is the fuel and the shelter for the strong burn necessary.

Dig around the stump then cut below ground level.
