INGENIOUS WAY TO FRY A TREE STUMP and Dispose of your old Cooking Oil at The Same Time

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Guys and Gals and all our great subscribers rid yourself of those stumps with this awesome method.. and the best part it COSTS NOTHING. Plus you can get rid of all that old fryer oil. Quote of the Week: *Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and remove yourself from the unacceptable*

[@dkat1108]

Best do this in dead winter or have no other bushes near. My neighbor burned old brush pile and stump thought the fire was out. The root burned for days finally caught the bushes on fire that were quite a ways from the original fire. Luckily the other neighbor saw the bushes on fire and called the fire dept. Owner was positive the fire was out but the root was like a fuse under the ground.

Same here, I burn some smooth bark mesquite trees.After the fire was out ( or I thought it was ). I stacked some new brush on top of the previous burn spot like 6 days later. On the 7th day, my wife came out and told me, "Are you really fire burning again" I looked outside, and that new stack of materials caught on fire. Here's a tip, the ash over the top of the charcoal is like a insulator. It will keep the fire "smothering". When I added the new wood, I probably disturbed ash and allowed air and with the new materials, it was able to catch on fire.

Huh never really thought about doing it that way, but I can definitely see how the oil would saturate the stump. The holes would also help keep it burning like a Dakota fire pit. Word to the wise, when it's as low as you need, flood the whole area with water. As much as you can, because those roots can keep burning slowly under ground and spread the burn to other nearby places.

I've seen several people comment on other videos about how the roots can burn underground. I don't doubt that they can, but I don't understand how they can without oxygen. I've got a large tree about 15 feet away from my stump that I plan on burning, so I am concerned about it.

[@davethekiwibloke]

@@twc9000 Dirt is porous, so even underground there's small amounts of oxygen available for combustion, and also from the space that the burned material leaves behind. The release of heat also causes movement/shrinkage in the soil as moisture dissipates and allows air to slowly filter in. When the conditions are right (and it's not alway so), the underground fire can burn for a long time...also as an interesting related topic, read up on underground peat fires, those are scary.

You can also use potassium nitrate (Salt Peter). About 1 pound. Drill a hole about 12” deep and fill it full then water it in. Come back when the stump is d ry (6 months or so) and light it. The stump and most of the side roots will burn like a fuse. Will smolder for days.

Next stump you should do the barrel method. Get an old barrel or aluminum trash can, drill some holes around the bottom, throw some kindling on it and I suppose you could use old oil to help it. If I ever have to get rid of a stump I'm going to try that out but since you have 20 stumps I bet you could do it and see what the outcome/differences are. I've also seen people make it into a rocket stump burner but I don't think I would want to deal with blowing air into it. Go search barrel stump burner if you don't know what I'm talking about.

When drilling fairly deep into wood, especially slightly or more wet wood, the resistance against the drill bit will become to be very much, so the bit must be slowly removed from the hole while still turning, to make the hole diameter slightly bigger than the bit, to eliminate the resistance.

Mr Know It All, what if you have put a barrel on top of that stump as a chimney? Would that have increase the temperature for that fire?

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

It might if the barrel is set on about 6 bricks so somewhere around the right amount of air can be drawn in from the fire. Too much air and some of the advantage is lost, not enough and same. I'd say the chances of it creating a helpful draft are small and not worth the time. The diagonal holes can intersect the center fire hole, making them air intake, and will provide plenty of draft.

cement mixing tub is wider and would cover the entire stump. :) also might want to use draft to your advantage by drilling down deep into the stump, saturate with oil, then dill out the bottom of the stump into the soil crating a sort of central air shaft. Then take a soil auger and drill down through the soil at a angle to meet up with the bottom of the " central air shaft" in the middle of the stump, creating a sort of rocket stove. the additional airflow will help keep the fire lit even once the first pile of logs has burnt up.

I don't know anyone with that much old cooking oil on hand! :)

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

But I bet you have tons of restaurants near you that would love for you to take their used oil off their hands! Thanks for watching, have a great day my friend. Guru Mike

[@flowerflower4731]

March 13th 2024 Blue Angel highway off Lillian highway has a water reclamation You get a free empty gallon container to put your used cooking oil in bring it back and get another one.... As many times as you need Just saying FYI

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Good to know! I know exactly where that is, Thanks! We appreciate the view and info my friend, have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team

[@jddotson7107]

That is a good idea or u can drill holes in the stump like he did that intersect and put a 50 gal drum with both ends cut off over top of it and use a bag if charcoal

Mr know-it-all. I was wondering if you have a solution to patio chairs for the feet of them so they don't wear out. I'm sure you have something up your sleeve. I just bought new patio chairs and I want to protect the feet on them they have hard plastic on them now Any ideas what I can do. Thank you and God bless

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

We would love to help you Kris, what would wear them out? Is it from dragging them across concrete? Please if you can, send pics to [e-mail] and we will get you pointed in the right direction, we have all kinds of fixes for things :) Thank you for watching and asking, have a great weekend. Guru Mike

[@MDfarmturtle]

😊 Your making me hungry to remove stumps. Good video sir, thanks.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

LOL, go get em Anthony!! Thank you for the view and comment, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. Guru Mike

[@moochythecat3435]

Thin the web on that drill point.... reduces pressure needed to drill the hole...

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great weekend. Guru Mike & team

[@robertthompson9455]

Is there a reason you drilled the first hole on an angle ?..

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Please re-watch the video and listen very closely. The very first hole I drilled in the center of the stump was straight down, the next one was on an angle and that was to intersect with the first hole. Thanks for watching. Guru Mike

[@Interdiction]

Always dig around the stump down to a foot . Burns a treat

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day. Guru Mike & team

[@MotherBiscuitLover]

The amount of smoke & the smell are going to depend on he type of oil used. Canola oil is going to smell different soybean oil, different from peanut oil, and they all have different smoke points to.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Agree! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week. Guru Mike & team

[@philliphall5198]

Old waste oil and diesel fuel works great also

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Well Phillip, we were trying to look out for the environment even a little bit. Have a great day. Guru Mike

[@DennisRichardH]

It DID do very *well*!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

Thanks for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day. Guru Mike & team

[@Lwnmwrboy5]

Would go even faster if you dug out a few inches around the stump so it can breathe better. Also could drill more holes that way.

[@maryduff8831]

You aren’t worried about the fire following the roots and popping up somewhere else?

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

We've done this for years and years and years and never had that happen or even heard of it happening Mary. Thanks for watching, have a great day. Guru Mike

[@maryduff8831]

@@MrKnowItAllGuru maybe it’s only pine trees that happens with. But I really like how you address getting rid of the stumps.

[@tadahead7174]

I grind stumps professionally, and heard you say $600 for a stump there? Any places to rent? I'll bring my equipment down today!

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]

I'm sure you can find a place, and yes, that's what the average cost has been in our area! Thanks for watching, have a great evening. Guru Mike & team

[@sistercalhoun4444]

Hey Bro how do you get rid of Poison Ivy on your fence line permanently..... Been trying to get rid of it for years.

[@MrKnowItAllGuru]
