Two different stump burning techniques. Use a barrel on both stumps but prep each one a little bit different to see which one works best for us. Also remove two dead trees. Including one leaning towards the barn using a ratchet strap and a little logic.
On one stump i left the stump above the ground but cut a few grooves in the stump to help the fire work its way through. On the other stump i cut it flush with the ground and did a few plunge cuts into the stump to see if it would help it burn further into the ground. The biggest thing that i learned is that you will need a few days or a dedicated blower to help keep the stump burning.
Why i cut the barrels the way i did: I cut the top out but left the rim on side to keep the strength of the barrel, but cut the rim out of the other side so i could be shaped around irregular stumps. The only thing I really had to pay attention to was that i put the air supply hole on the correct end of the barrel.
also, the tire chaining video i was talking about can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8U_xrtnb_k&t=33s
