I had good luck burning a 2 ft dia. elm stump that was coming out from a stone wall. Two bags of charcoal, got it burning, and covered it up with some old steel plate. Smoked for days, but took the stump out.
had not heard that one, makes sense tho. salt prevents regrowth and makes them tasty for the deerNever tried it but if you have time to wait. I have heard drilling holes and dumping buttermilk in them causes the stump to rot quickly. something about adding the bacteria needed.
a couple of weeks ago lightining got one of the oaks lining my driveway.I,ve got it cut split and stacked,made a little over a cord. this afternoon I flush cut the stump, just over 40" at the root spread but even tho I can now mow over it I would rather have it out below ground level so the area will be level instead of mounded. anybody got any suggestions other than grinding? If I do have it ground about what do you think it will cost?
Funny how a comment meant to be funny turned into this.
10 minutes a day with an axe worked for me one summer. Bout the same size stump if I recall.
In the photo 2-posts back the deer and stump with the flowers are a neat way to handle a stump. Near the street is that another stump with the grass growing up around it ?

Drill a number of holes and fill with the powder.

Seems like somewheres along the way I've picked up an ankle biter.
You can take your monkey smileys back. They will be of little assistance in ridding the OP of his stump.
Taken back WB. No ankle biting hereabouts.
For stumps the advice to cut down to ground, score with the saw, then either let it be, or fill the saw grooves with dirt works in a year or so.
If you're an ex try Semtex or C-4. Most stumps will rot in a year or two without fussing.
