If you can burn in your area take some charcoal get it going good and
then set it on top of your stumps. You will need to come back and add
more charcoal about twice a day but the stumps will burn down well
below ground in about a week. If done right there will be very little
smoke or flame from doing this and it will end up costing you about
$15 worth of charcoal.

I recently had two apple trees cut down. The stumps were cut as low as
the chain saw would allow. Other than renting a stump grinder at about
$120 for 4 hours, what are my other options to get rid of them.

One stump is about 6 inches in diameter and is not a big problem. The
other is about 14 inches in diameter, but an area about 36 inches in
diameter raises to about 4 to 6 inches above the surrounding area.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

You're looking for the cheap out. As was mentioned, drill some holes
in to it, them and pour in the stump out. That approach takes -much-
longer.

Stand-by for some mushroom's and toad stools too. ymmv
