The most amazing way to remove a stump!! E16

[Music] so I've got this stuff we've only asked for a little over three years now and it was already cut down when we got here so it's been cut down for quite a while and I have considered bringing a grinder and coming in and grinding it out but I had a thought earlier in the year I guess is the end of last year we bought one of those logs that you give the home center that has a hole drilled down through it and hole to the side that you can like as a campfire in the one log will last for a long time and so I started having the idea of why don't I try drilling down into law and then drilling a hole from the side and see if I can get to just burn itself out from the inside out so it may be too wet down in there to work but I've got nothing to lose so I thought I'd try it and let's show you guys worked or not you didn't really think I was wondering that all by hand did [Music] [Music] looks like some termites might have been down in there [Music] all right I just saw poke through because it's really cold out here and I'm a little impatient hey I'm gonna take the easier out I hate to waste kerosene [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] it looks like it's finally on fire I finally got the fire going and I'm just trying to keep it going long enough to get it real good hot on the insides up to the Sun hold that sticks down inside so it's been burning really good for about an hour now you can see it is really hollowed out down inside there and there's my side holes they have really opened up quite a lot [Music] I'm just gonna let it burn and come back out here after a while let's see look how it's looking I'm about three hours in now and it is still going strong you see how much bigger the holes have gotten there's definitely some heat coming off of it on the three sides that I controlled the whole lid you know it's gotten really close to the edges now I wish I would have drilled a fourth one on this side to really get that fire to go evenly it might not have made a difference but I think it would have would have helped because right now the side I didn't draw a hole in it's quite a bit thicker than the other side [Music] so it's 11 a.m. the next day I came out here about 7:00 this morning I just got back the top part of the stuff is almost gone now this is a very deep wide stump so I might actually bring some wood and set fire to it works pretty good to be honest so I went and picked up some dead branches and blew on the embers a few times it's off back going again I'm probably try to keep this thing fed throughout the day [Music] [Music]

And that's how we discovered the coal seam on our land.

I have had a stump in my yard since I purchased my home. I finally decided i needed to do something about it. I considered renting a stump grinder but instead decided to try and burn it from the inside out. I think it worked pretty good!!

This was really soothing to watch. Thanks for posting this, OP :)

Any concern of root fires carrying over to other trees?

Stumps have feelings too! They might be dead, but they aren't out.

On the next stump drill a bog hole, add thermite.

By no means is this the only stump burning removal video online. They are strangely addicting to watch
