I'm not after getting the whole thing out - if I just get the stump

So just buy a cheap pack of three crosscut hand saws and set to with
the saws, or attack it with a splitting axe or just drive a 2" wide
bolster chisel into it an inch from the edge, split lumps off it and
work yoru way across. Might need some extra cold chisels as wedges or
get a log splitting grenade. Just takes a bit of physical effort.



Why all the fuss, it's only 15 inches across, playing with an angle
grinder with "thin metal" disc for half an hour would make it look silly.
It's not like it's a 3ft Oak stump.
