That hasn't happened to me.

I've been burning stumps on a regular basis here lately. I've been piling some of the timber on them as I cut down whatever it was that was growing there and letting it dry for a while.

I've noticed that if I tend to the fire, raking away coals and letting the stump breath and then raking the coals back and maybe adding more wood on top to make more coals, I get a better results. Keep in mind, I'm clearing land by hand and most of these stumps are green. I'll even rake the coals off the top and give it a few whacks with the ax here and there to get air down to the lower parts of the stump if it's not burning good.

Be careful though. At the end of the day you may end up sitting on a tailgate and holding a cold beer by that stump. As a matter of fact, I'm starting to think "Stump Burnin'" is a state of mind. :wink:
