After removing a tree often you will see a stump left and eliminating it can be a tough job. One method to eliminate stump without much effort would be to burn it out. Before you proceed you can find two things that you should do first.
? When things are dry, it is easier to burn so if the stump have not yet dried properly you should wait until it has dried.
? Before you start the burn, call your neighborhood fire department to ensure that you will not be breaking any rules about burning where you live. If it is okay to burn, make certain the stump is nowhere near any flammable materials or near any building.
Stump burning steps
? Helpful resources will require a chain saw to cut an "X" on the top of the stump. The deeper and wider the X the higher for burning the stump. Fill the area that was just made with gasoline or kerosene but usually do not light it. You have to give it time to soak in to the stump, which can take several hours. After the fuel has soaked in, pour more in the area 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 along with the trench. To make the burn more effective and go faster it is possible to follow the aforementioned paragraph but before you set it on fire get a large metal barrel. What size it actual needs to be will depend on what size of a stump it is advisable 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 even more fuel on the logs so a good fire will start.
? When you are utilizing the barrel for stump removal, put in more logs once the fire is burning good. The barrel keeps a high temperature so the stump will burn more efficiently because it is soaked in fuel. Keep investing in more logs and let it continue to burn before stump removal is finished. If you want 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 on fire again.
If the stump removal involves a stump that is deep rooted and really big burning it out may not work so you might hire someone professional to accomplish the stump removal. Make sure that you wear protective gloves to protect the hands from being burned.
