Doesn’t get much happier than how I felt standing in that field on a cool 70° day with a light breeze watching that fire burn inside the hole I cut Everything doesn’t have to be efficient. Sometimes you do stuff because you want to do stuff

Next time get you a leaf blower, turn that thing into a blast furnace. Great video!

Awesome work, Doss Farms sent me. Cheers!

If you love watching your grandchildren playing in a sandbox, you'll love this video as much as I did. Good work, Brock!

I love it when the sun sets and there's a chill in the air, sitting by a warm crackling fire...

Yes sir

This series of videos is very enjoyable and educational. This stump has really gave you a run for your money Brock. You are going to get it . Thanks for another great video.

If you want to have a little fun and you've got some 2" or larger steel pipe laying around, put one end of the pipe near the stump and stick your leaf blower in the other end.

Back to the roots. A stump burning video is how I first found your channel a while back.

Thank you for considering my comment 👍💪

Think of all the biochar you've made in that hole great for spreading anywhere you want to grow food❤❤❤❤

If you're not in a hurry burning out a stump is an enjoyable way to spend some time. No matter how you do it it just ends up taking some time. When you cut those slits down the sides you made it better for sure. I may have tried to do a plunge cut from the top down to the "chamber" you cut out also as obviously fire likes to go up. If I have the time and energy I like to try to dig out a little under the stump as well to help it burn up but doing that really is labor intensive so I normally only do that if it's a huge stump and I need all help I can get. No matter the technique if you enjoyed the day, or two, or maybe three and the stump is gone that's all that matters. Video on Brock!

A few things I have found are: It is easier to cut away wood than to burn it. Do some digging, then cut the stump as low as possible. Cut the cube out as you did from the side Then plunge down to release the cube. Do this last, as if you get through the stump and into the dirt, you'll dull your chain. A leaf blower makes it a blast furnace. When the fire goes out, get in there and smash things with a sledge. The wood that is left will be brittle and often breaks off Lawn chairs, a cooler, and a few buddies.

Taking the rakers too low has made my saw fight the bore cut in the past, switched to another chain and it bore right in no prob. Good luck!

Nothing like a good night time fire. Keep it up!

As I’ve said before burning out a stump is not a forced March and shouldn’t be. I’ve always used a stump location that I want removed as my new burn pile/pit location and when the stump finally get burned down to where I want it, I move my burn pile to a new stump location. It may take a month or three months I just burn on it when I have material to burn lite or off and leaved and do other things…. Not make that the only task I work on. I deliberately do not set a time line. It part of the farm function to burn waste when it pile up so it really doesn’t cost me any time away from other task. This did totally work a ton better for you as far a speed of burn out and that’s what you are after in these examples. 👍👍🔥🔥

Yeah, it’s basic property cleanup. Had some brush and some half rotten logs to get rid of and making it interesting by trying a different technique on the stump.

I enjoy your videos, Brock.

Great video Brock. Been watching your videos for quite awhile, something to look forward to in the mornings.

Hey Brock, somebody may have already mentioned: take a leaf blower to that fire and it will rock

I was hoping the fire would have done something. Now im thinking Tannerite and friends for a good time? Be one hell of a KZread video 🍻

I normally do all my cutting with a full chisel chain, but the semi chisel chain is a lot better behaved when doing plunge cuts.

Howdy Brock! Ashes are your friend when banking down a fire to insulate the coals overnight. But they get in the way of burning the stump down below ground. No biggie unless you are in a hurry. It's nice to end the day next to a crackling fire maybe watching the sun set. Bah... don't listen to me... I'm still on pain meds lol. Thanks for sharing 🤠

Love a good fire . thanks Brock .

Brock - I think that all in one sharpener can hit the rakers a bit too hard, take a raker gauge back over the chain and look to see if they are a little too low. That will absolutely make the saw jump more and also hang up more. Great video - Brock ON brother!

Yeah your rakers are too Low. Doug and I have both experience that the Stihl 2 in 1 takes them down a little bit too much.

@TheRustyGarageandHomestead I will have to check that out

I have spent days trying to burn out huge stumps. I use a small generator and a box fan to feed the stump fire with a high volume of air. That greatly reduces total burn time.

Looks like an oven cut works just as well!!! I guess the trick is to have enough clearance for airflow.

stumps, brush cleanup after felling a tree back in the day we used an old tire and a gallon of diesel in the old tire gets a nice hot fire

If you had added two cuts straight across and vertical too the hole you would have what is known as a Dutch oven Smaller version is where a log is split into quarters and the centre piece is removed and then put back together with wire ties holding it together and then with fire starter a fire us started in the middle and with the air cracks all round the log burns furiously

Hi Brock, yes your rakers are too low. Those 3 in 1 tools are inconsistent. Use a husky raker gauge and a round file. Nothing more consistent then that combo. Cheers from bc canada.

I like your content, sincerity, and honesty. The smaller the stump the less to burn. Like said in another post, I just use stump for a burn pile and then move on to the next if needed, I spray with GLY STAR PLUS to kill anything else from growing up around the stump, and the root system. Dynamite works well also. Watching stumps burn is like watch golf or two snails' screw. LOL I would of thought you may have found yourself a stump grinder by now. You're going to be burning stumps till you're 90 if you don't improve on the process. You should add up the time, fuel cost, etc. that goes into the removal of one of these stumps using your burn methods. Be interesting to know how much time and cost it is taking you to complete the task. You might want to start craving out animal figures for yard ornaments. Keep up the great content and I'll keep watching. Thank you for making these videos. Also, congratulations on your health improvements. I am planning on starting a s a I get rid of other recently purchased groceries etc.

Thanks for the reply I left you a comment under buy a bigger tractor.

Low rakers can make it very sensitive.

battery powered leaf blower for forced air would have made that hole a furnace. looks fun anyway tho

❤

Did you consider just making a few straight cuts downward from the top to as low as you could go below the opening you cut out? It would not have required you to get on top of the stump. It may have allowed the flame to burn upwards faster and also helped it to burn downwards quicker.

Yeah, I was thinking that after I had already started the fire up. Almost still tried to climb in there and do it.

I've never seen a man work so hard to accomplish such a mundane task. Lol

It’s not work if you’re having fun and I probably only spent 20 minutes doing anything physical

Cutting a Burt stump will blunt a chain lot faster then a unburt stump

Burnt wood may have something to do with the bar hopping on you ?

You could have put your bucket on the tractor and stood in it to bore the hole from the top maybe.

Don’t you have a pallet fork man lift cage you can stand in to cut down into top of stump?

Like you said. The rakers are probably too low.

No brother you heat treated the stump so you made it more solid like they used to do with wooden spears

Why didn't you make firewood out of the top of the stump?

But why didn't you have a team of mules pulling on it with a bunch of guys digging it out by hand. Kidding..... 😆😆

This guy gets it ^^^^

Just my opinion! It don’t mean squat! You could have made cuts from the side, down through the stump an inch apart on four sides and made a chimney. You are not going to get it to burn down into the stump much. Holes need to be lower. Good luck! Kevin

Next time try tannerite 😉

Your Chips look good I don't think you cut the rakers to far usually you get long Chips when the makers are cut to far ...maybe you changed the tooth angle enough it isn't biting enough ...maybe the tooth throat is to shallow ...its hard telling lol great video thanks

Master, might not be the right word?

I don't want to be the OSHA guy, but....with the awkward stance and jumpy saw, where are your gloves and chaps? Thanks for sharing your videos, I like.

I'm surprised You didn't take off the top 4 Ft of that ???

I thought, I and Thought, that you were supposed to cut a hole in the top so you have a chimney . Sure now you comment. yes stand in your loader bucket.

you have the rakers too low! the 3 in 1 tool will do that if you put too much pressure down, Just happened to me last week. Just take the flat file out for a couple of sharpening, ot just a round file and the chain will come back.

Looked like you didn't have a tasty beverage around with a fire that nice just saying lol.

If you’re talking about the chainsaw, it did help when you bare down on it but kind of don’t like doing that. I had to come in in a little bit of an angle and put more pressure on it to make the bore cut
