Best do this in dead winter or have no other bushes near. My neighbor burned old brush pile and stump thought the fire was out. The root burned for days finally caught the bushes on fire that were quite a ways from the original fire. Luckily the other neighbor saw the bushes on fire and called the fire dept. Owner was positive the fire was out but the root was like a fuse under the ground.

Same here, I burn some smooth bark mesquite trees.After the fire was out ( or I thought it was ). I stacked some new brush on top of the previous burn spot like 6 days later. On the 7th day, my wife came out and told me, "Are you really fire burning again" I looked outside, and that new stack of materials caught on fire. Here's a tip, the ash over the top of the charcoal is like a insulator. It will keep the fire "smothering". When I added the new wood, I probably disturbed ash and allowed air and with the new materials, it was able to catch on fire.

When I bought my house, there were 3 large pine stumps. I hollowed out the center with a chain saw and turned them into planters. 10 years later, they are starting to break down, but they still serve their purpose.

Huh never really thought about doing it that way, but I can definitely see how the oil would saturate the stump. The holes would also help keep it burning like a Dakota fire pit. Word to the wise, when it's as low as you need, flood the whole area with water. As much as you can, because those roots can keep burning slowly under ground and spread the burn to other nearby places.

@@twc9000 Dirt is porous, so even underground there's small amounts of oxygen available for combustion, and also from the space that the burned material leaves behind. The release of heat also causes movement/shrinkage in the soil as moisture dissipates and allows air to slowly filter in. When the conditions are right (and it's not alway so), the underground fire can burn for a long time...also as an interesting related topic, read up on underground peat fires, those are scary.

Next stump you should do the barrel method. Get an old barrel or aluminum trash can, drill some holes around the bottom, throw some kindling on it and I suppose you could use old oil to help it. If I ever have to get rid of a stump I'm going to try that out but since you have 20 stumps I bet you could do it and see what the outcome/differences are. I've also seen people make it into a rocket stump burner but I don't think I would want to deal with blowing air into it. Go search barrel stump burner if you don't know what I'm talking about.

You can also use potassium nitrate (Salt Peter). About 1 pound. Drill a hole about 12” deep and fill it full then water it in. Come back when the stump is d ry (6 months or so) and light it. The stump and most of the side roots will burn like a fuse. Will smolder for days.

When drilling fairly deep into wood, especially slightly or more wet wood, the resistance against the drill bit will become to be very much, so the bit must be slowly removed from the hole while still turning, to make the hole diameter slightly bigger than the bit, to eliminate the resistance. About every 8 seconds. The hand-operated drill motor is getting Hot drilling that much.

cement mixing tub is wider and would cover the entire stump. :) also might want to use draft to your advantage by drilling down deep into the stump, saturate with oil, then dill out the bottom of the stump into the soil crating a sort of central air shaft. Then take a soil auger and drill down through the soil at a angle to meet up with the bottom of the " central air shaft" in the middle of the stump, creating a sort of rocket stove. the additional airflow will help keep the fire lit even once the first pile of logs has burnt up.

Жыл бұрын

It might if the barrel is set on about 6 bricks so somewhere around the right amount of air can be drawn in from the fire. Too much air and some of the advantage is lost, not enough and same. I'd say the chances of it creating a helpful draft are small and not worth the time. The diagonal holes can intersect the center fire hole, making them air intake, and will provide plenty of draft.

I don’t use that much cooking oil in a year. Can I just use motor oil?

There was a suggestion to check with local restaurants, they sometimes have to get rid of old oil that you could get. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great day. Guru Mike

Is there a reason you drilled the first hole on an angle ?..

Please re-watch the video and listen very closely. The very first hole I drilled in the center of the stump was straight down, the next one was on an angle and that was to intersect with the first hole. Thanks for watching. Guru Mike

You know what would be a lot easier. Just cover the stumps in leaves and in about two years the stumps are gone.

Good to know! I know exactly where that is, Thanks! We appreciate the view and info my friend, have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team

It would have been better if you dug ad deep as you could around the outside of the stump first then tunneled inward toward the center creating a rocket stove. Also I would have chain sawed across the top for more air and sawed a core out of the center. Then put magnesium in the center. That would have created 3500 degrees fahrenheit and virtually melted away your stump in 1 day no need for 5 days presoak.

Thanks Jeff for your comment the whole idea behind this was to show people they can use up their old turkey fryer french fry grease in a good way without causing problems with the neighbors and to keep it as simple as possible most homeowners do not have a lot of tools again thanks for your comment have a great day

Bears passing through our yards live waste cooking oil.

Sure you can, but if you want some used oil for free, stop into a local restaurant near you, they a lot of times will give you some of their old used oil. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great day. Guru Mike
