Yep, I've seen several videos. These are all nearly flush with the ground and we've had a ton of rain, so I think the charcoal method is best. I'd love to test one of those though. I was a Boy Scout and have had lots of fires over the years. I have had to cut up a tree where I could have done that but didn't think about it at the time. I actually wish I'd kept several pieces of the trunk for various reasons, but burned them all (and it was pecan).

It's just easier to start. If you don't think it'll burn long enough..add some more charcoal or scrap wood that you have from any wood project.

It'll burn the inside of the stump out...but will leave the outside bark layer.
That can be taken out when done with a small chain saw or axe.

They had that, and I thought about it, but $18 for a bag of that or $10 for a bag of some other brand. I'll probably end up buying another bag to burn another couple/few stumps too.

THe main/biggest stump is going well. One of the smaller ones is also doing well. The other small one may end up being OK.
