Another Way To Handle Tree Stumps?

That will cut thru most anything, with the right blade. A low tooth count, if you have a choice. Otherwise, as Jimmie Walker used to say (not in this context) Dyno-Mite!! A neighbor drilled a dozen or so holes in the sides of an empty coffee can, ran it through the can opener again to remove the bottom and set the empty cylinder on the stump. He filled it with charcoal briquettes, added some charcoal lighter, and fired it up. The incredibly hot fire burned right down through the middle of the stump; hardly any flame but a lot of wonderful smelling smoke. He hosed down the area around the stump a couple of times a day to insure that the fire didn't spread. By the time it burned itself out there was little left but the outer bark. Once it cooled it only took a few licks with an axe to knock what was left into the hole in the center. A couple of shovelfulls of dirt on top and the stump magically disappeared. John |
