You can always rent a stump grinder or pay someone to come out and grind it down
one or two feet. Then you can put soil on top and manage the shoots which will
come up by cutting them immediately. If a tree has not photosynthesis, it will
die, eventually. Using glyphosate in ways it is not recommended on the label is
dangerous and frivolous. It's what I've been screaming about for decades.
People do NOT read the label, but even when they do, still use the product
incorrectly and right into the water it goes, and goes, and goes...

Not only does it actually kill the stump, it also gets the top below
grade level so you can mulch or sod over the top without waiting for
years for the thing to rot down!

Using buttermilk in holes to get it to rot faster was another huge
mistake. It stank, drew bugs, and had no effect what-so-ever!

How do you get the fire started? This sounds like a good idea.

Just fill the container with charcoal to a level above the stump and
start the fire just like a BBQ pit. Add more charcoal as necessary
to
keep the stump covered with coals.
