I LOVE your quick thinking. We've pretty much given up on burning on our in-town corner lot. We would get the necessary permit, hover over the burn pile like a hawk, garden hose ready. Without fail someone would complain, or the breeze--theretofore non-existent--would kick up making ash. Next time, we'll have hot dogs ready!!! Thanks!

+Just Me Make sure outdoor cooking fires are allowed. Your are correct, you don't want to be stinking up the neighborhood or allowing ash to get on people's cars etc. To me it's all common sense and neighborliness.

i need to move back down south. Arizona has been lost to the libtards and illegals.

MrOramato l m doing it now. In 111 f heat in central ltaly. I ll tell l m bbq ing steakf

MrOramato Way to fire! Quick thinking!

I have 2 sitting here, going to put them to use

living more rural is the only way to go..i will always be on the fringe if the masses

David Chambers in

youtube needs a laugh emote like facebook lol

Summary: Don't live in the city limits and try to burn things.

opichocal You should have put chairs around it and told him it was a fire pit. Those are allowed.

That's right.It's not home unless you can walk out your front door and take a leak or shoot something.

Kelly Burns LOL yeah

Your neighboor that does not like you probably called the police:) be discrete when you do this and have fire stinguisher on hand

Do not be mistaken, that is a 4' tube from my companies plotter machine that holds a roll of paper. That's how big that stump was! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

BushPilot444 or just pay a guy like me 80 bucks to grind it

I was thinking the same thing. Like a rocket stove.

yep, this video was 2 years ago and the stump is still sitting there in the road. You are right.

Thanks but im not exactly sure anymore. Its one of the free audio track that youtube gave us to us royalty free. I think its under popular and country if u search for it. Hope thay helps.

If you like this video, i made another one recently doing the same exact thing, but at night. I didnt realize the barrel was actually getting red hot. Pretty cool. Check it out if u want.

His next video is called.How to ignore a GD leaf blower sound for more than 10 minutes.:)

I had about 2 and a half hours in this, w trial and error before i came up w a gameplan. I am in the same boat as you have have many stumps to burn. I have a steel 55 gal drum now and plan to use it with the leaf blower as an oven. My stumps are very dense and they never actually burn, they just disintegrate down into ash.

Ill make a video w the drum next weekend i try it. Sub and stay tuned! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I am assuming they are for airflow. You can see some of them burst into flames from the inside. My geuss is that the insides of them got pretty hot, that it burned

Those are just cardboard rolls from our big plotter at work. It holds the paper for the printing machine. I was just trying to burn them up and then the flames shot out of the tubes.

I liked when the flames shot out the tubes so cool well actually hot haha..

jmr1068204 no they would just steal your leaf blower and sell it for a 5 dollar rock

I was thinking tree fiddy. 5 dollas is a lot..."yo".

Lots of my neighbors have fire pits for backyard get togethers. Some even set them up in their driveways. What is the difference between that and burning a stump? I would recommend a fire ring or barrel around the stump. And lots of people burn firewood in their fireplaces in the winter. You can smell the wood burning. I think it smells good!

Yeah, I live in SC so......

+Mike Dunn thanks, sounds very interesting. How big was the stump? I hve three big stumps to remove. the above fire method is not the thing, as it takes too much other wood for the fire.

rosi hayes Wasn't a huge tree,about 12" diameter trunk,but it should work with bigger trees as well.

ELLY GAMES That was a swamp ghost!

Have you ever removed a tree stump like the way you described?

the stump is almost rock solid and is not technically burning. i burnt scrap pieces of lumber under it and it kind of disintegrated the stump as we went thru 2 or 3 hours. the blower just helps the scrap wood burn at a higher temperature and disintegrate the stump roots quicker. the video doesnt show the multiple piles of scrap wood i went thru. thanks for watching!

+Lewie McNeely Interesting suggestion, but did you actually try it, or just a funny suggestion?

Several people around here have done it and it works. Either I dig the stumps , flush cut them and let them rot on their own or leave them high and let my Sweetie put flower pots on them. This is on our place but when doing a grading job I dig them all. An old timer always said if you buried a bunch of stumps they'd come back to haunt you. So down the road they'd go.

Seeing as it was electric NONE...

Black Box and if it wasnt it would probably only need to be refilled once.

Even at 1500W the blower might consume 5KWh and at 12 cents per KWh is only 60 cents... yep, a real wallet squeezer.

+Jonathan Anderson on the weekend my free time is worth $50 an hour, if it takes 6 hours to burn a stump that's three hundred bucks. Obviously you don't understand economics the electricity was not my main focus

I don't understand economics, maybe you should have mentioned your weekend rate of $50 an hour in your first post. If your time is so important, feel free to tell me how long it will take you to research a stump grinder that meets your needs, finding a rental place that has a comparable grinder, time spent driving to, loading, unloading, reading the safety precautions, using it, re-fueling it, driving it back to the rental place and then driving home. Here's a breakdown for my area, 25 minutes to the rental place, 20-25 minutes getting it loaded in the truck or adding a trailer to the rental, 25 minute drive home, 10 minutes reading the instructions, let's say it only takes an hour to grind the stump down below grade, reloading it and getting it fueled takes another 20 minutes, 25 minutes back to the rental shop. 10 minutes for inspection and 25 minutes back home. Roughly 4 whopping hours before the cost of the rental and that's if nothing goes wrong. so $200 in time and $150 in actual money. That's 7 hours for you, 4 hours of you absolutely having to be involved in the process. Might as well for the same price hire someone to remove the stump. There's the real answer, if your time is so valuable, why waste it doing physical labor and driving?

+Tim Hanrahan a comparable stump grinder rental for a job this size in my area of Anderson SC would have been $330 for only 4 hours. This stump took me 6-7 hours to burn. That fee did not include delivery and pickup because I do not have a trailer big enough to haul that size grinder. I was told that the size of my stump would have required the medium size 25-30 hp grinder. Yes, I had to babysit this stump and feed it scrap wood most of the day, but I had nothing but yard work to do that day and was home alone as the wife worked. Electricity in my area is .12 cents per kwh.

I think he was more interested in letting us know his time is worth $50 an hour on weekends.

spankeyfish the internet has ruined you

indeed it has...

+William Mercer (BoostedByWilliam) and less pollution

Wait, which is less pollution: the small engine stump grinder, or the wood fire? I

Well, I chose "free," but I used Mattuck, Sawzall, Spade, Axe, etc. Not the easiest way!
