Use an old hair dryer or a smaller blower and some pipe to keep the blower away from the heat and let it provide a constant source of fresh air/oxygen to the fire. It would burn the stump out twice as fast or maybe even faster.
I’d suggest more and possibly bigger grooves to facilitate more airflow and better combustion (less smoke). Also, rather than putting the whole round on top, cut it into 3-4” slices. This keeps the heat in while also providing more fuel to add to the combustion while not being top heavy. I also dig a little trough/moot around the stump to saturate with water while burning just to reduce the chances of root fires even if you think they’re too rotten to burn.
Great suggestions! This one was one of the "smokiest" stumps I've come across due to all the pine oil in the wood. That what makes it light and burn so easily. The additional sawing also removes material that in turn doesn't need to burn so that takes away burn time as well.
@Marine - I was initially concerned only due to the proximity to the fence and neighbor's property. In the end, everything but the core was too far gone to burn. Thanks for watching!
@@LivingCommonSense yeah. After I watched more I saw the metal cover you put on. We have a farm with old tanks an feeders and metal waterers so they are easy to find. We have a metal recycler here in town that often has just the thing. Thanks for your video. Gives me new ideas and entertainment.
I was expecting this comment to come through eventually. I don’t know how much I could’ve sold the fat wood for but I’ll say the video of it pays pretty well too
I found your video very satisfying. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for your comment. Glad you enjoyed it!

It would and may help it burn cleaner with less smoke and soot as well. Thanks for the tip!
Another perfect stump burn completely flush!
Got to burn it until its gone. No reason not to. Thanks for watching!

One of the issues with burning Pine stumps the roots will continue to burn. You may have another fire 20 feet away.

Cover it with an old metal waterer or tank to force heat down.
@tlm3574 - I've tried a few things like this over the years and the old directv dish is about the best I've come up with.

I enjoy making burning the stumps. Gives me a reason to be outside for a bit. Glad you liked the video
You wont believe what happens
I may try it with a barrel or something free. Once I get into spending money, its a lot faster to simply have the ground. Thanks for watching!
Fat wood?? Dig it up, split it up, use for fire starting and SELL it😂 if thats good sticky wood that's MONEY brother😂
