I have burned out stumps a couple of times and also had a stump grinder here once and took care of about 5. I have also let Mother Nature work on them for a while and then use a chain saw, ax and splitting maul to attack them ( not bad to do on small ones. ) I would agree with the other posts- start to cover them when it rains to help them dry out.. I have drilled holes and poured old oil on them too. If it is all lawn around them you should be fine, if not rake away any leaves etc. Are they hardwood or softwood stumps? I have found that an old hardwood (maple) stump will burn for a couple days once you get it going and will burn some of the roots. A half rotten spruce or white pine is hard to get burning unless you get it kind of dry then start a fire on top of it with brush and sticks. If they are fairly soft they might grind up fairly easy. My neighbor once rented a stump grinder and he came up and ground out 5 or 6 small to medium softwood stumps for me. That worked out well too and didn’t take all that long. As mentioned you only need to go down 4-5” below ground. Never tried the charcoal method but it sounds interesting and you could cook up some steaks at the same time. I cooked steak over the maple stump when I burned it.
