Stump Removal - Burned Into The Ground

- The stump is about 30" across and the tree was cut about 4 weeks before the video. I use the wood from the tree trunk to burn the stump -including roots.
Burn takes place over several weeks in my spare time.
Fire burns at over 1200F.

Best use of a direct tv dish I have ever seen
Thanks! It was definitely the least expensive transaction I've had with a TV dish.
Fire is very therapeutic! Especially with a few cold beers and a good dog!
Yeah, sometimes all a fellow needs is some time alone with his thoughts, his dog, a good fire and a lawn chair. Thanks for watching!
[THREE YEARS LATER]: “and that’s how you remove a stump without a stump grinder.”
Well, I guess you're not wrong....
@LivingCommonSense try citronella oil next time. That stuff is incredible.
6:53 - slow motion match toss worthy of any action movie! 🤣🤣
Thanks, this one was a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!
Ooo boy when u put that campfire 11:57 my face started burningggg 🔥
It was a hot one to be sure. The camera got a little too warm due to being too close to the flames. Thanks for watching!
your voice is wonderfully hypnotic thanks
Thank-you! I appreciate it and thanks for watching
I've learned to dig out/ down around the stump so it burns under the surface
@Jeffery - Yeah, that helps get air down lower so the fire can do it work.
With a hot fire, the roots will charcoal, and even a long ways under ground if the ground is dry. Gotta be careful.
That is the BEST heat reflector. The best paid money to direct tv.
This is the best use for one for sure!
THANK YOU for showing the "end product"! I get so frustrated with all the videos I've watched that never show me the "AFTER". Your video at least shows the stump level. I'd love to see what you put over that area... grass? fire pit? garden? I have watched 11 stump removing videos today, and yours was the most satisfying. The other were like the end of a movie getting cut off. I love common sense. lol
I just let it grass over with whatever wanted to take over. It's now kind of a high traffic area that has become beat down. I've seen a few that don't show the "end product"...I figured they didn't get it completely gone. The "AFTER" is the payoff that people want to see. Thanks for watching!
Amazing how we went from “Will This Work?!” in 2015 to “Listen to this ASMR of us burning down this old stump!”
It could be progress or lowered expectations...lol. Either way, thanks for watching!
In this video: "The best excuse to start some big ass fires!"
That's funny...and has a bit of truth to it!
The ole "Fire-Makin-It-Happener 9000" (leaf blower!) Works pretty good. Yeah , each pallet has about 80 nails in it - I counted em once.
An electric turbo no doubt. Pallet nails are the best holding nails I've ever seen 😂
Having had to deal with direct tv...that was extremely cathartic.
@Ryan - It seems you are not alone. The dish appears to be most everyone's favorite part of the video. Thanks for watching!
too bad my at&t router isnt larger to be useful in this situation cuz that thing definitely needs to be tossed in a fire!
@the5stacys - I've found at&t router plastics to be pretty good fire starters 😂 Just don't breath the smoke!
@@LivingCommonSense that's all I needed to hear. tossing it in tonight. lol. at&t communists only allow rental on that 5g box and say to send it back when and if I cancel service. oops, sorry...that box got badly burned in a fire. 😁
@the5stacys - lol, the equipment at&t sent me must have been dilapidated because they never asked for it back 🤦♂️
For my next stump, I'm wondering about using an old junk blade in my circular saw that I don't mind digging into the dirt a bit, making a series of parallel cuts 1/4" to 1/2" apart, hammer them sideways to break them out, do another layer, and another, until it's below ground level. Then use those chips as fuel to burn it below ground even more. That seems too easy. Could that work?
I don't see why it would not work, just watch for kickback. Also, take care to not get dirt into the moving bits of the saw or be sure to clean them out and oil it up afterwards. Thanks for watching!
Getting ready to burn a green Bradford stump tomorrow. I'm hoping it goes this well
Take your time with it and you’ll burned out. Good luck and thanks for watching!
How was it? What was your tecnique? I have 1 to do soon
@@154g I tried coals and air induction but the ground was still too wet and the stump too green. WI try again next week when the ground has a bit less water in it.
Water in the ground is good. If the roots start to charcoal, it can burn a long ways if there isn’t moisture to quench it. If you build a big enough fire, the stump will burn off the residual stump root moisture.
You can also place a small fan there for constant air flow.
Good idea! That airflow would keep the ash from building up which can starve the fire of oxygen. I'd want to hang around though and make sure the embers didn't start another fire near by.
I use a $12 battery operated one on low, it goes all day long and keeps that fire hot and going.
Do you have a link to the one that runs on batteries?
Pulled down that trees and ran out of fire wood?
Really big wet stump. Took a lot to dry it out. Thanks for watching!
Will this stop the roots from growing? I have a tree that is cracking my and my nabours house.
@roenaldi - I've never heard of roots continuing to grow once the stump has been removed. If the roots do catch on fire though, they will burn under your house. The safer thing is to dig down where the roots are cracking your houses and remove the roots all together. I had to do this to save a driveway that was being pushed up by some pine roots.
Good to wait till after it rains so the ground is wet and will quench the fire before the roots burn too far.
This is just more proof that burning out roots is a quick way to clean your yard, but a poor way of getting the job done. If you don't have mechanical equipment, you just have to dig em by hand and it's a bitch of a job...
Yep, if I'd had a bit more firewood, I would have kept on burning the roots. Working a shovel is the last thing I want to do around roots.
A big ass fire or three is the best.
Gotta be certain those pallets are stamp “HT” as in heat treated vs chemically treated. Unless you like 3-eyed toads, neighbors and kids, or no kids at all.
If I find any 3-eyed toads or neighbors, there will certainly be a video of it.
thermite, ? or Make rocket stump plung cut a 6" wide square lift the pyramid out in center dig down 6" out side, drill one inch hole to the center. so it conects with the pyramid
Your pyramid suggestion would make connecting to the side hole a lot easier! Drilling down and from the side has been hit or mostly miss for me. Thanks for watching!
The big ass fire or two works great too, and a lot less sweat.
owner must be a ham with hf vertical ant.....
@ruben - Yes but with no time to get into the shack these days
I love hearing you talk. Your voice is soothing and damn hot with that accent. I could listen to you talk all day, bro. I love how you can make a one syllable word like "tin" have two syllables, and how you pronounce "fire" as "far". Damn.
It gives me hope when I see there are people that can still recognize greatness when they see it! 🤣 Thanks for watching!
@@LivingCommonSense Sure and thanks for all the videos!
Well that was a waste of time and possibly dangerous…. I’ve done worse though
You do it backwards bud. Long slow Coles burning is how you do it
Thought I'd change it up a bit. I've done both and typically the wetter the stump the slower I go. It takes some time to dry one out.
@@LivingCommonSense I take a 55gallon drum. cut it in half... I cut out BOTH ends. so then you actually have two of them you i can use. I like how you cut slits in stump that was good. Then just put the Drum around stump. have plenty of wood to keep feeding it. then put piece of old tin on top too cover it then when ready for bed.(Put few bricks on top for weight to keep wind drum blowing over) leave a small opening so that way it will get some air. so the coals burn long slow. ALSO you can second it as a BBQ cooker😄
That tin is good. It reflects the heat well. I've consider bringing out the dutch oven during one of these. Those low slow fires are perfect for it.
