Get Rid of a Stump Fast 

Every clip is basically the same for the "burn" method. But for me.... I'm dealing with a 6' diameter trunk. I have been mentally wrestling (here in the south: wrass-ling) with.... how to find a 6' diameter metal can..... I have an unlimited supply of roofing sheet metal and 1"×2" tube steel support beams..... After 40-50 clips, I finally found "the plan" that will suit my needs. THANK YOU for explaining the inefficiency of a bonfire and sharing your, as The Wizard of Oz calls it "clinking , clanking, clattering collection of collagnious junk" of an oven cooker....

Nice Jason. That worked pretty well.

🎄Merry Christmas! 🎄 Have learned a lot this year!

Very good and easy technique sir,👍

cleanest burn yet!

posted 6 minutes ago wow! this is a good technique!

Best method, Makes alot less time and faster THANK U

That was fascinating, Jason. And you're quite the comedian, too.

Today I had a tree stump grinded down by a tree service. Unfortunately, I live in a town that prohibit leaf/yard burning. But your method is an excellent burn method where allowed!

Amazing!!!

Now that's fast!

weird reference about burning human remains, but practical advice

In the 50s a neighbor used what I've learned to be the easiest way to remove a stump! The stumps were Oak and about 4 times as big as yours. The method: As you did, he built a fire at the base but then he placed an old Electrolux vacuum's exhaust close enough to create a true "blast furnace". It took him a while but he accomplished this in the evenings sitting in a lounge chair with a beer in hand!!

Similar idea of burning but mine wasn't a stump but to make biochar. I was told it was illegal plus fires can spread underground with roots and what not. I have a stump grinder ( company ) coming this week for removal. Save the burned materials as biochar. Great video love your idea and how it came to you by watching a murder....lol 🤣🤣 You are not only funny but brilliant too !! ❤️

Hi Jason, you're also a boy scout! Merry Christmas!

Hope you saved the ash and biochar (if any). Love your knowledge and videos. You have quite a beautiful view of the mountains, too.

I usually put bird seed on top of the stump and every now and then try to remove the bark. Takes about a year but works quicker than i thought.

Making a murderer? Now we know the fertilizer you use to make those roses look so nice.

Not too many weeks ago read a book about a guy who was starting a subdivision. Had some Mexicans come to cut down a huge oak...they alternated the work with drinking & napping. Eventually, like a week later, there was a stump. They poured gas over it & set it on fire. Which did a good job...such a hot fire that it want deep into the roots, which eventually had a large circle of land burning....unexpectedly damaged some parked machinery. When investors came for a tour...they decided not to be part of THAT! I put a tire ontop of stumps, a bag of compost & soil & plant Aggressively tap rooted plants (herb family) that gets large long leaves, bluish purplish coloured flowers, and a spreader. They look lovely, soon drill their way down into the stump thru tiny cracks. The wet soil & heat from the tire all co-exist nicely to encourage various drilling chewing bugs...a few yrs down the road with no more effort than the initial setup, stumps are easy to hack apart w. my ax or sledge hammer & pull sections out of the ground. Then, I actully miss the sumps sometimes!

Interesting. I saw another stump burn video where one hole was drilled in the stump from the top and then another hole was drilled in going sideways and a bit of lighter fluid was used to start the fire. It had the same effect but no additional wood was added for the burn.

Use/save the ashes and use it as it breaks down into the soil as a fertilizer and helps the soil

if you can drill a hole in the middle, and another hole horizontally near the base, connecting to the hole in the middle, it will create a chimney effect, making burning a lot faster.

My technique involves leaving the stump and adding a new garden around it. Cause I totally need another garden! 😎 🌸 💐 🌿

Jason,I've burned hundreds of stumps. Try digging around base first. The more you can get fire below it the better. Charcoal also sitting on top helps. I really like my backhoe method best. Once out of the ground its not a problem,even green. You would love a backhoe. So many ways that would help on your farm. Like watching your videos! Have a Merry Christmas

I used a two foot high iron fire ring worked great!

I've seen people drill holes, top down, and from the side and make them meet. They then put in an iron tube and pump air in. That makes the stump burn from below with the oxygen, and from the inside out. That seems to be effective. Your wind break is as well. For the biggy, why not take a chain saw to it first?

Hey Jason 👀

I heard a recommendation to drill holes deep into the stump, pour gasoline into the holes and let soak into the wood to help break it down. I never tried it, though.

I would not close off the top like that. You want to create a vortex and the top prevents that. It needs to rise as fast as it can to suck in air at the bottom like using fans . . .

My dad burned a stump on our 100 acre farm and the fire traveled through the roots and popped up in the middle of the woods and burned 30+ acres of forest.

😬🤩👍🏽

I'm wondering how many bodies have disappeared near Fraser Valley Rose Farm. Jason's technique is just a little too professional.

Even better? Drill some holes in the bottom of those panels.

All the best tips come from murderers. 😅 This was interesting. I got a stump I need to try this with.

You could have shared this method without the wicked reference.No sense in feeding the wicked new methods🙅‍♀️

Looks fun & tiring too. Who was lucky enough to monitor overnight? 🥱
