Pine tree stumps?

How do I get rid of pine tree stumps ? I know about grinding but I have way to many to grind and I have plenty of time to let them rot I just want to speed up the time it takes. I could also burn them, so what would you use to get them started burning?

Pine tree stumps?
Any stumpkiller from garden center. Drill holes and apply therein.
Reply:wow, no to the tires, sorry Mr. Dirt. Have you ever smelled burning rubber? Do you honestly think that is good for our environment? I don't think so. If you don't want to grind them, you can use the product Mr. Dirt recommends, but it will take some time, my experience was it almost took as long as letting them rot by themselves. So, your options are good old fashion hard work (take a pick ax and start picking and shoveling) or burning. He's right, call your local fire department and see if it's allowed and give them a heads up you will be burning. Stumps are going to take a really long time, Some, depending on size, days! Just throw dry twigs and leaves around it and get it going. It's just like a camp fire, only you are dealing with moist wood unless your trees were cut down a long time ago. Pine however burns fast, so even when moist, it will burn quick. (quick is relative to size of stumps). I would chop up the top of your stump so it is jagged, not flat and smooth from a chainsaw. Gives nooks and crevices for the fire to catch onto. It will take patience. Don't start more fires that you can control with a hose. You said you had lots of stumps...don't let this get out of control. Make sure the debris around each fire is far enough away that it won't catch fire and 'run' from one place to the next. Never leave fires unattended. One spark is all it takes. Don't pick a windy day. Since this could take a long time, you need to dedicate the time so you will be there. We start fires and garden or mow, but we never leave the area and watch it often. If we have a big fire and we're tired, we put a hose to it and put it out completely before we go to bed. It takes a bit to start back up, but with enough dry wood on top, it will catch. Nice steam too. LOL. Just be safe, Start your stumps with a fire on top. Fire will burn top down. Don't recommend marshmallows, Pine isn't good for you. Not until it's burned for a long time, and the smoke is clean anyway. Have fun.
Reply:you could use a product calle STUMP ROT--- drill holes in the stump and pour it in ,, takes several months for it to rot enough to destroy,, to burn them,, if it s permitted where you live,, put a couple of old car tires over the stump,, pour about a gallon of diesel fuel on it to get it started,, if you can make a metal wind break up close to the stump this will help,, kinda like burning stuff in a barrel
Reply:We had oak stumps in our yard and I took Charcoal and placed on the top of the stump and lit it. It may take a day or two but it will burn it out. Them you fill in the hole with dirt. Being pine it want take long.
Reply:i have pulled lots of stumps the old way dig around the stump start cutting the big roots with an axe then gently pulling them with a horse but iguess a horse is out of the question so a 1/2 ton will do you do it in steps ,alittle pull cut more roots another pull then out it comes fill the hole ,easy.
