I could not see any difference at all other than the cuts I had made looked a little more dried out. I'm thinking thats all the Stump Out does....pulls the moisture out of the wood so that the fire will take a good hold and burn the rest out.

If a fire gets a good enough start...it'll burn just about anything.

Salt kills most plants. Often after floods and storm surge lots of plants end up dying. The Stump killer is just a salt to ensure that the stump is dead.

If you don't use the stump killer, the stump may still be alive and trying to put up new stems and leaves. If the stump is still alive, the wood won't rot.

The stump killer kills the stump and roots so that wood can start rotting (not a fast process).
