Another stump burning

[The Original Rooster]

Been burning this one all afternoon and will burn it until late tonight. It’s got a full bed of coals so it’ll get the logs going soon.

I burned one in Hancock that took just right. It smoldered for a week under ground. I drill deep holes in mine before starting the coals. I like the ring idea!

When I was young my dad took down several trees in our yard. He had a bunch of small metal barrels that fit around them. He came home with a load of coke. We got a fire started in them rings and then added the coke. That stuff gets hot. Those stumps were gone in short order.

Did you use cans or bottles ?

You shoulda coated a whole turkey with mud and buried it by the stump before you fired it up. Those things are good.

Got some critters walking around out in the woods while I sit by the fire. Probably the armadillo we saw last night.

"The humanity..."

Why do people hate stumps so?

Next thing you know people will be removing stumps from the ground entirely because they are so offensive.

A total re-writing of History.

 

[normaldave]

This is actually outstanding. I need to try this technique.

On the contrary, I do not hate stumps. I’ve killed a couple of deer while sitting on a stump. My dad, Ol’ Walt had a favorite black stump he called the smokehouse because he killed so many deer while sitting on it. I hate the fire ants and termites that stumps attract. I hate the roots near stumps that ruin lawnmower blades. That’s why I’m burning the stumps in my yard. But, I don’t hate them.

Makes for a nice evening to sit and drink Yuenglings too!

The climate change nit wits will be protesting in front of your house when they see this.

You know...?
A fella could make a real nice chair out of one of them.

That’s fine. They’ll be blocking HWY 74 and over 200 yards from my house through the woods. I’ll never hear them and the sheriff will run them off. Those that trespass will learn about one of the ingredients of homemade ice cream.

 

[The Original Rooster]

Burning real good now!

You gonna hit them with cans of evaporated milk? You're an animal.

Yeah, and handfuls of sugar!

 

[Toliver]

Yeah, and handfuls of sugar!

That was my next guess. Blind them with your sweetness.
