Stump Removal


After removing a tree often you will see a stump left and eliminating it can be a tough job. One method to eliminate the stump without much effort is to burn it out. Before you proceed there are two things you need to do first.

? When things are dry, it really is much easier to burn so if the stump has not yet dried properly you need to wait until it has dried.
? Before you start the burn, call your local fire department to make certain that you won't be breaking any rules about burning your geographical area. If it is okay to burn, make certain the stump is nowhere near any flammable materials or near any building.

Stump burning steps

? You will require a chain saw to cut an "X" at the top of the stump. The deeper and wider the X the higher for burning the stump. Fill the area that was just made out of gasoline or kerosene but do not light it. You must give it time to soak into the stump, that may take several hours. After the fuel has soaked in, pour more in your community until it flows over the side and leave it sit overnight.
? Set fire to the stump another morning by lighting some paper and tossing it on top of the trench. To make the burn up more effective and go faster you can follow the above paragraph but before you set it on fire get yourself a large metal barrel. What size it actual needs to be will depend on how large of a stump you need to burn. Cut off underneath, top of the metal barrel, and place the barrel over the entire stump. Toss in a few log and put some more fuel on the logs so a good fire will start.
? When you are using the barrel for stump removal, devote more logs after the fire is burning good. The barrel helps to keep a high temperature so the stump will burn more efficiently because it is soaked in fuel. Keep investing in more logs and allow it continue to burn until the stump removal is finished. If you want to burn it even more the next day, you can cut another X in the stump or drill some holes in, pour more gasoline or kerosene on the stump and set it on fire again.

If the stump removal involves a stump that's deep rooted and really big burning it out may not work so you might hire someone professional to do the stump removal.
