There are, of course, lots of ways to get rid of a stump, depending on your time frame, budget, equipment available, local regulations, etc. etc., but if you do choose to burn them, the process is pretty straightforward. I recently helped a relative get rid of a fair-sized elm stump by covering it with half a 55-gallon drum I had handy, then adding some dry wood to get it started and using an old furnace blower and various pieces of scrap pipe and ducting to make a forced-air blower. I capped the last chunk of pipe and drilled a series of holes on one side of it to blow air directly on the bottom of the fire, much like the tuyere in a forge, and moved it around every few hours as the stump burned. It took a couple days to completely burn the stump, but when we were done there was nothing left above ground and he was able to rake out several inches of ash below ground and re-cover the area and seed grass over top so you would not know a tree had ever been there. Total cost was only whatever little bit of electricity the blower took and all the components were saved for the next time we need to burn a stump. You could do the same thing with your fire ring and practically any source of forced air, though you'll need to keep an eye on the proceedings to make sure things don't get out of hand.
