Stump Removal

After removing https://healthfulinspirations.com/signs-need-emergency-tree-removal/ there will be a stump left and getting rid of it can be a tough job. One way to eliminate stump without much effort would be to burn it out. Before you proceed you can find two things you need to do first.


? When things are dry, it is much easier to burn so if the stump has not yet dried properly you need to wait until it has dried.
? Before you begin the burn, call your local fire department to make certain that you will not 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 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 region that was just made with gasoline or kerosene but do not light it. You need to give it time and energy to soak into the stump, which can 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 the next morning by lighting some paper and tossing it along with the trench. To help make the burn up more effective and go faster it is possible to follow the above paragraph but before you set it burning get yourself a large metal barrel. What size it actual has to be will depend on what size of a stump you should burn. Cut off the bottom, top of the metal barrel, and place the barrel over the entire stump. Toss in some log and put some more fuel on the logs so a good fire will start.
? When you are using the barrel for stump removal, put in more logs after the fire is burning good. The barrel keeps a high temperature so the stump will burn more efficiently since it is soaked in fuel. Keep putting in more logs and allow it continue to burn until the stump removal is finished. If you need to burn it some 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 burning again.

If the stump removal involves a stump that is deep rooted and really big burning it out might not work so you might hire someone professional to accomplish the stump removal. Make certain you wear protective gloves to safeguard the hands from being burned.
