Easy Way To get Rid Of Stumps

Easy Way To get Rid Of Stumps WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Stump Cutters 28-2-35 "A stump grinder lets you a way to get rid of stumps fairly easily without having to hire a stump grinder or spend all day hacking away with an ax or chainsaw," says Dan Krenzel, Cullman, Alabama. "I made it from an older water heater and a piece of stove pipe. I attached the pipe to the top of the water header using a finger joint. That's where you cut the end of the pipe into 1/2-in. wide strips and bend every other strip to a 90_ angle and put the straight fingers through the hole and bend them over to lock the cover in place. "You simply place the burner over the stump, add some kindling and other combustibles, and make sure there is a draft space between the ring wall and the ground using rocks or bricks. The burner will gradually burn the stump right down. It'll burn right down into the lateral roots and, once burned, they will not resprout. Takes about a day to burn an 8 to 10-in. stump. On real big stumps you could use a larger tank. There's no cost, very little labor, and it works quietly."
