drill a load of holes in the top, like swiss cheese, add a gallon of 4* and ignite.
I like bonfires.
The oil drum technique works pretty well if it's a reasonably dry stump and root ball, with the drum forming a nice chimney to keep the flames centred on the stump and pulling in at the bottom of the stump. If it needs more than one burn, dig the barrel down and in a bit after the first one to help push the flame seat lower onto the stump
With the stump dug around like that, it creates a nice well for petrol vapour to accumulate and then ignite.
Don’t forget to add a gelling agent to one of the above suggestions.
Ah, yes...

An update of the process


I seem to have run out of refreshments.

Good work 🙂

That's a blummin' expensive firelighting fluid you have there.
There must be a lot more money in outdoor pursuits compared with when I was employed as an instructor.
If you are going to remove it with fire, use way more petrol and dry your lawn at the same time:
"In what could be understatement of the week, a Connecticut town has admitted that "a poor decision was made" when 24 'merkin gallons (90 litres) of petrol were poured on a baseball field and set on fire.
A local government Facebook page for Ridgefield on Saturday confessed to citizens that the miscalculation had been an attempt to "dry the field quicker" on the morning of a high school baseball game.

What direction are you directing people in?

How's it looking this morning?


Small bottle or really big hands?
Think the clue is on the label
Small bottle 🙁
This morning as I left for work, youngest_oab had been detailed off to stoke it up again as there is one last central bit still charred.
So yes, I'm expecting the neighborhood to be a scorched hole in the ground....and still a tree stump resolutely standing.
What direction are you directing people in?
I've not a clue. Thankfully they have more of an idea
