Chemical Stump Removal Tips For Tri-Cities
Start by cutting off as much of the stump as possible with a chainsaw. You will then need to drill 1-inch holes around the perimeter of the stump. After that, move inward by about 3 or 4 inches and drill more holes. Ideally, these holes should be between 8-12 inches deep depending on the size of the stump.

After all of this, drill additional holes around the sides so they meet with the other holes to create 45-degree angles. Pour liberal amounts of potassium nitrate into the holes then fill the holes with water.

After you’ve poured in the chemicals, wait four to six weeks or until the stump becomes very spongy. You can then use an ax to break up the spongy stump.

Optional #1: Saturate the stump with fuel oil or kerosene and allow it to sit for another week or so.
Optional #2: Ignite the stump and let it burn and smolder until it is completely gone.

Burning A Tree Stump
Are you looking to remove a stump or stumps from your property and aren’t sure if you want to use a stump grinder? There are other options available if you choose. Another option is to use a fire solution to remove your stump.

If you’re going with the option of burning your stump out of your yard, be sure to keep a fire extinguisher, or flame retardant materials near your burn site. After you have these near by, you can then start by drilling a hole into the center of the stump about eight to 10 inches deep.

Then, you should clean all of the debris out of the hole. Continue by drilling holes, leaving about one inch between each hole. Then, scoop potassium nitrate into each hole. Pour hot water into each hole.

Continue pouring water into the holes until the potassium nitrate has dissolved. Place the scrap wood on top of the stump. Light the scrap wood and wait for the stump to ignite. Use your shovel to break up any large roots or stump pieces that are left over. Bring in soil to fill the hole as needed.
