Default For Drilling Holes In Tree Stumps

I'd go about 6-8" deep with a 1/2" or larger bit (preferably auger)
using an electric drill.

Then I fill the holes with diesel and give it about 15 minutes to
saturate the stump. Repeat once more than lite it.

After a few days there won't be a stump.

Don't do it if the surrounding area is "at risk" of also catching on
fire.

Another method is to cover the stump with charcoal and lite it. The
charcoal will burn out the stump.

The idea is to drill holes and fill with a chemical to break down the
stumps.

Would a manual bit brace do the trick, or would you use a
battery-powered hand drill. What size? Length of bit, etc.? Thanks
