Stump Removal - Burning Out a Stump
After removing a tree many times you will see a stump left and getting rid of it's rather a tough job. One method to eliminate 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 begin the burn, call your local fire department to make sure that you will not be breaking any rules about burning your geographical area. If it is okay to burn, make certain the stump is now here 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 must give it time and energy to soak in to 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 the next morning by lighting some paper and tossing it on top of the trench. To help make the burn up more effective and go faster you can follow the aforementioned paragraph but before you set it on fire get a large metal barrel. What size it actual should be will depend on how large of a stump you need to burn. Cut off underneath, the surface 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 after the fire is burning good. The barrel helps to keep a high temperature therefore the stump will burn up more efficiently since it is soaked in fuel. Keep investing in more logs and let it continue to burn before stump removal is finished. If you need to burn it some 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 might not work so you may hire someone professional to accomplish the stump removal. Make sure that you wear protective gloves to protect the hands from being burned.
