Stump Removal


After removing a tree many times there will be a stump left and eliminating it can be a tough job. One way to eliminate the stump without much effort would be to burn it out. Before you proceed you can find two things that you need to do first.

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

Stump burning steps

? You will need 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 usually do not light it. https://stumpremovalcambridgeshire.co.uk/best-stump-removal-cambridgeshire/ is advisable to give it time and energy to soak in to the stump, which can take several hours. Once 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 the next morning by lighting some paper and tossing it on top of the trench. To make the burn up more effective and go faster it is possible to follow the aforementioned paragraph but before you set it burning get yourself a large metal barrel. What size it actual needs to be will depend on what size of a stump you have to burn. Cut off underneath, top of the metal barrel, and place the barrel over the entire stump. Toss in some log and put even more fuel on the logs so an excellent fire will start.
? When you are using the barrel for stump removal, devote more logs once the fire is burning good. The barrel helps to keep a high temperature so the stump will burn up more efficiently because it is soaked in fuel. Keep putting in more logs and allow it continue to burn before stump removal is finished. If you need to burn it even more the next day, it is possible to cut another X in the stump or drill some holes in, pour more gasoline or kerosene on the stump and set it burning 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. Ensure that you wear protective gloves to protect the hands from being burned.
