| What is the easiest and cheapest way to get rid of stumps? I was thinking of throwing a tire around them and burning em. To hell with global warming. Innovative ideas welcome. Just keep it cheap. |

Please enlighten me on how you remove a stump with a pickup. |

Please enlighten me on how you remove a stump with a pickup. 1. First you hook a chain around the stump and the other end of the chain hooks onto the hitch. 2. Give er hell and rip the hitch off and tweek the frame. 3. Park said truck atop stump and set on fire. 4. Call insurance company. My four step stump removal program. |
| If you are patient you can do what I did. I had to remove a tree that was about 6 feet from the house and the stump it left was 40 inches across. I called a couple local places that do stump grinding and they wanted extreme amounts of money to remove. I bought 100 pounds of the cheapest charcoal I could find and laid about 4 inches thick over stump and let it burn. I had to do this twice and it burnt it perfectly about 6 inches below the ground level. It isnt fast but it works perfectly since the charcoal burns down and since it was very close to the side of the house I couldnt have large fire of any kind. |

My property doesn't have any buildings on it yet so large fires or explosives are all within play especially if I take a case of beer with me. Of course I should pack the video camera as well. |

I had a local guy grind out a stump for me. Cost me $50 and it took him maybe 30 minutes. |
