Smokeless Stump Incinerator - Fire Ring Stump Removal 

I like the stump removal method from an old book on farming. 1. Build a hog pen around the stump, move your hogs in. 2. Every day, take a crowbar and poke holes in the dirt around the edges of the stump. Pour some dried corn in each hole. The hogs will spend all day digging out the corn. Eventually, they’ll dig the stump up for you.

That hand saw really kicks out alot of chips lol😂

That hand saw really throws the sawdust 😂

I have used a metal ring cut out of a 55 gallon drum to burn stumps...The WolfRidge smokeless fire pit is a much more elegant way to do it! Hint 1: next time, try drilling holes with a wood boring bit. Then soak the holes with your favorite flammable liquid, the dry stump will absorb the liquid, then it will Burn Baby Burn. The thinner the flammable liquid, the more it will absorb, so, kerosene will soak in better than diesel. Diesel can be smokey, anyway. A bottle of charcoal lighter fluid, soaked into the stump, burns pretty cleanly. The cuts in the stump area great idea, also.

I like the fire ring idea. However, the chainsaw you used to cut the slots into the stump you could have used to cut the stump closer to the ground. Therefore the burn time would be reduced to a few hours.

I need one of those turbo handsaws. Man that thing kicks butt.

I drilled a stump and made a Swedish torch out of it. Worked really well. I like that fire pit and the rack.

😂😂great job with the hand saw!!😂😂

Do you really think we believe you cut those slots with a Hand saw. They look al little wide, more like a CHAIN SAW!!!

Man that cross cut saw had one heck of a kerf! Even looks like you had it going fast enough to fling chips😂 Love those WR fire pits! 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes Dan, a very Happy Father's to you. That is quite a unit for Burning the Stump out. I have been in contact with Bob Nelson with Wolf Log Splitters. He is going to be at Booneville in August and I have been invited. I don't know if I will be able to make it but see how Funding is for us. He is going going to have a Wolfridge Log Splitter there a 17RS. I do hope I can make it to look at it and Possible Purchase it. All depends on our Money Situation. Being a Senior on a Fixed income and almost 72yrs it might work Out. Again Happy Father's Day Sir and Enjoy with your Family. Ron from the Woodyard in Duanesburg NY.

You sure made quick work of those cross cuts with that hand saw, must have been just flying through it!!! 😂 😂 😂 Happy Father’s Day Dan, hope you and LBM have a great day together.😊

Fyi, keep an eye on that area for awhile afterwards, it's been known that the fire can continue to burn/smoulder, for weeks and even months, thru the roots in the ground.

When I was about 12 I helped our retired neighbor Don remove 6 white oak stumps from his yard. Used a shovel, axe, mattok pick axe. He gave me my first chain saw for the work! I wasn't expecting anything. I was stoked. Burning them out like this looks like more fun. I'm not sure you could ever burn it down enough.

You should take little boss boy to see your barber.

The stump burn method needs a below ground hole to the center of the stump to speed it up use an electric blower

This is way better than renting a stump grinder. What a family time! And a cool product to use!

Old washing machine drum does same job!

Came to learn how to burn a stump. All I got was a guy trying to sell a piece of metal called Wolfe Ridge then it rained. 😅

Here in the southwest, we have mesquite wood, which is about twice as hard as oak. What I do to remove the mesquite stump is to cut down to ground level, then use steel wedges and a sledge to separate down the middle. I also dig around the base to expose the other root arms, and after it splits down the center, it comes out relatively easily.

Happy Father’s Day Dan ! A great idea to use a fire ring to get rid of stumps. Cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

Interesting way to do it. I just dug out stump No 2 of 10 in my back yard today - shovel, axe and crowbar got it done - but I’m whipped now ahhah

That mini firewood would be perfect for my wood stove I use for winter camping.

I used an old rim off a car. piled up charcoal, lit, and set the rim over it. burnt down into the ground. Worked great.

The fire 🔥 pit and mini firewood 🪵 rack would make awesome Father’s Day gifts. Pretty cool stuff! 🎉🎉🎉

Great idea! Back in my younger days I'd dig and chop them out just for the exercise, haha! Them day's are over!

You're supposed to say this a paid advertisement.

I’ve been waiting to see that awesome vintage JNCO Jeans shirt. It’s official, summer is here. 😁👍

I cut stump lower. Cut slots deeper in center. Add used motor oil. Put 55 gal drum with no bottom and holes around bottom. Add junk wood. Light fire works pretty good

Glad you used a chain saw to cut those grooves, instead of the puny hand saw.

I've done it with a regular fire barrel that didn't have a bottom took a while just kept burning 🔥 in it until it was gone.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY ( D ) GREAT IDEA! GREAT FIREPIT! GREAT WEATHER... STAY COOL BROTHER... PEACE...

4:28 - you did all that with that dinky hand saw? Impressive! My 🎩 is off to you sir! 😅

After cutting stump, you could have used a wedge and mall to remove most of it. Set those pieces aside plunge cut and repeat. Then take the kindling you just made put it in fire ring on top of a bag of quick light charcoal. On top of remaining stump. Enjoy the fire. Job done!

Video was worth watching just to hang out at your bar! I might have tried making some 3/4" speed bore holes through the stump from top to out the bottom side to get some flames inside as well. Very cool!

Excellent video Dan happy Father’s Day 😮😊❤may amazing Amanda and little boss man be nice to you

Happy Father’s Day Dan!!!

That bar setup is awesome!

Good idea on the stump. Just be careful as buckfirewood already mentioned. Happy Father's day 😉👍

Happy Father's Day Dan!

The most successful stump burns I've had with ones in that size range, was to dig in 4 or 5 spots around the circumference, trying to get angled vent tunnels as far underneath it as possible, supplement with chainsaw cuts down to the tunnels, then start small fires in each one. The idea being fire, like heat, rises. It's a lot easier to burn from the bottom up than the top down. Top-down fire lays are what you use in camping to consume the wood slowly for an all-night fire. Fire underneath the fuel, with plenty of air flow, will burn one out like a blast furnace.

Happy Father's Day, Shifty! My neighbor burns out stumps like this all the time. I feel it takes half the tree worth of wood to burn them out and waste to much good wood. I cut them low, wait till they start rotting good and dig em out with a shovel myself.

Hi Dan I Could See a lot of Ticke Bars Buying Theses Up That looks like a great idea 🤩

That stump looks like if you had spent 10 minutes cleaning up the bottom ...you could have just cut it off pretty much flush with the ground !!!

Nice decision to use the WR fire pit to take care of the stump! Hope your arm isn't too sore from all that sawing😂. Happy Father's Day!

As a wildland firefighter, i know for a fact that even though you don't think there's not enough oxygen, those roots can smolder and reignite up to a year later, so be prepared.

Drill holes in top of stump and pour used motor oil or old cooking grease and some lighter fluid in the holes to soak the stump, thoroughly. Once lit it will burn completely out.

It's amazing how far that handsaw threw the sawdust.

I burned out a 24" oak stump by drilling 12" deep vertical holes around the top of the stump . Then drilled horizontal holes to intersect the vertical holes. Poured a little gas into each hole and let it rip. About 4 hours later the stump was gone . Drilling holes in this way makes the stump act like a rocket fired heater where the wood burns at a higher temp.

How many screws did you drop down between the cracks of the deck assembling the fire ring? Lol

Can you put a link to that handsaw in the description? That thing is amazing LOL!

Chainsaws are amazing

Hi Dan I think you got a Successful Fire Pit That Wolf Ridge Smokeless Ring Holds the Heat in to keep the fire 🔥 Hot and The Mini Firewood Splits Was the Cherry on Top

Drill holes in the top of it and fill it with kerosene. Keep topping it off for a few days. Then, in about 2 weeks, throw a match on it. It'll burn out the stump as well as the long roots, and you don't need to buy a huge steel ring that you don't know what to do with afterward.

I've burnt out a few stumps by digging around the stump around 6 in. deep add either wood or charcoal on one side and set up a blower to blow into the fire and somewhat around the stump. Then just keep the fire burning. The stump will be gone in a few hours or so and then all you need to do is fill in the hole with dirt and plant some grass seed. Or hire someone with a stump grinder. I've done that to.

A lot of the time you can remove old stumps if they're really old and dry with a wood splitting Mall and wedges and split it like you're splitting wood or get a carbine chain to put on your chainsaw if you have one and cut it out you cut that with a hand saw you don't have a chainsaw if you had a chainsaw you could cut the stump lower to the ground so it would be a lot less burning

When I was in Boy Scouts, one patrol built their fire over a stump. They put it out, no smoke, water, etc. Much later we found out the stump continued to burn in the roots, then surfaced, about a week later. Luckily it was reported and doused, for real.

Do they come in titanium? I made basically the same thing, just a slightly different look, about q0 years ago out of a 35 gallon ink drum from where I was working at the time. It worked a treat but didn't take long to burn out, even with hitting it with a wire brush after each burning and putting it inside the garage out of the weather. About 6 months is all it lasted. I always thought it would be nice to have one in titanium so it would last

Leaf blower with a steel hvac duct pipe to push in oxygen and clear ash to finish it up. I use that but it leaves a ring and combining with your setup may resolve that!

That is a good idea of doing it that way but sometimes you can't because of being too close to something but what you should have done is got some barbecue lighter fluid douse those cuts you made put the lighter fluid in it to help it burn faster

Used cooking oil soaked through the spilts in stump and left overnight.....👍👍👍 ...Ash to ground level in 3/4 hours

Dig around the stump a little bit. Drill a hole with a auger bit 1" or bigger if you have one. Drillthe ti the middle. Then down in the middle of the stump. Start a fire in the hole the air will feed it from the button. And you'll have a good night campfire and your stump will be gone.

The thing about fire is, it really doesn't seem like it wants to burn downward. I would try digging under it enough to get some hot fire burning toward the center of the stump. If you can get it burning good and supply enough air to keep it going, I think it would burn better than way than what many have tried by trying to put fire on top of it, hoping it will burn its way downward.

Very nice smokeless fire pit.

Florida termites bro. Almost all Florida homeowners have them😂

Thats one mighty "hand" saw you have there 😂

Great Idea

I've done this to about 9 stumps located on my property so far. Oh, and for the comment of "why not just rent a stump grinder?" My property overlooks 86.2 acres in the mountains of Montana, you price that out for me and foot the bill. 😂😂

Pretty cool fire pit👍👍

hi there looks real nice , HFD best to all john

Yah, that little handsaw made those 1/4" wide kerfs!!

I burn all mine this way too. But I use the drum from an old broken dryer. It's srap so it's free

That hand saw... looks a little sus danno!!! 😂😂 great video again and i sadly wont be able to make it to the frenzy

Crocs, socks, cut-off sleeves and half a haircut. Murica!

Good idea 👍🏻👍🏻

When you said, "June snowstorm", I thought you meant actual snow. That actually happens here, once every two or three years or so.

I use a 55 gal metal barrel and throw 20 pounds of charcoal in. Works well

You can rent a stump grinder at HD and be done with that in 30 min. Longest part is picking it up, wash down and return.

I love how everyone noticed that the kerf is a bit wider than a handsaw could make, But then again I don't think anyone is surprised that you didn't spend twelve hours straight hand Cutting those lines.

Yeah ! Very wide cuts for a bandsaw! Looks like a decent bit of kit though ! 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

Was gonna comment about the handsaw not being the tool used but it looks like everyone already caught on lol 😂

Dynamite!!!

Your wood rack, would be perfect for a wood burning smoker bbq grill The wood is split and about the right length to fit into a bbq firebox. Just need hickory, apple, peach, and so on woods for it. These can be sold in bags at the store.

That mini firewood rack should have a detachable handle going across the top so you can move it easier if you have to

I have a galvanized vented chimney top (looks like a small rocket) that can be applied right on top of that fire ring to block that rain

lol, not worth the $$$$ and more junk in the garage, all you need is a 3" wide long spade bit and good drill, 5-10 holes down the middle, 5-10 holes at the side, pore down a little bit of gas or diesel, in a few hour put some coal or oil down the middle

Get some dryer lint and use that too. It lights very easily!

Why not use the tractor to dig out the stump? Happy Father’s Day wood hound! 🇺🇸

A cupful of diesel allowed to soak in for about a week helps very much

Definitely the best/cheapest way to remove stumps.

Good way to start a fire when dries up

Years ago had elms die on the ranch . Cut down for firewood. The stumps were 4 foot wide Set a old tire beside them and diesel it. Burned the stumps 3 feet into the ground. Filled the holes in, like they never existed.

One thing missing , big time , I am not hearing any real conversation or instruction to your son , unfortunately . Every project like this was a golden time for my son and I . I was able to teach him many things !

I just had a big oak removed. The stump man ground it in 20 minutes for $175. His machine is the boss. It's even remote controlled.

what a great tree stump!...why did you cut the great tree it rooted?

You've got Four Wheel Drive and a shovel. Why do you have to burn out the stump?

Why not rent a stump grinder?

Nice house.

Fyi. Use charcoal bricks stacked on top of. Ive done a few. Can take a day or two but itll burn it below the ground level.

I like how you pretended to use the hand saw to cut some lines in the stump.
