Impregnating a tree stump for burning out?
I've got an old cherry tree stump which I really want rid of. It's
probably about 10" high by 15" across, and the problem is that it's in an awkward position at the foot of a banked area, and surrounded by paving stones, so would be very disruptive and difficult to dig out. It's inaccessible to a tree stump grinder (other than maybe something hand- held). Burning it out seems the way forward, and I've tried several times (over years), burying the thing in burning coal. Trouble is the stump doesn't really burn much as such; it just chars over, and has got quite dished on top, but there's a lot more to go. Don't waste your time and fuel. Just attack it first of all with a drill or saw. I used an old blade in the circular saw crossing the top from all directions, then finish it off with hammer and wood chisel. It only took me a couple of hours chiselling spread over several sessions and it was gone. Mike |
