Yes indeed

I'm betting about 60 hours to burn that stump - I've burned a few that went several days for sure!

reminds me of dead dry standing saplings, rip em up root and all, they make exellent firewood, burn for ages, like lumpwood without the axe and saw.

Edit:

Me "The trees are strong my lord. The roots go deep"

My father "Rip them up, rip them all up"
