Hey, here is the deal, we have a few tree stumps(a year or so old) in the back. They range from about a foot to 18 inches thick. I want to know the cheapest(rental wise) and best way to get rid of them, and I need them out fast. I was thinking about digging down about 6 inches or so below ground level around the entire thing and just taking a chainsaw to it. If my neighbors didn't care I would just drill some holes, pour some gasoline, and let em burn but that isn't an option, at  least for one of them.

Basically, being 2 years before I leave for the USMC Reserves and then college, I want my final two Halloween displays to get onto TV(have been doing setups since I was about 5). This year I have more people(3-4) and more money, and I decided on making a ride. Anyway, we want the track down by May 1st, and since we are very crammed these tree stumps have to go. You can read more about what I have done, etc, at Halloweenforum.com, my username there is crazymjb.

Try that stump out at home cheapo. It didn't work for me but I used diesel fuel instead of kerosene. I heard it does work well. *

Problem is, I need it out instantly, I cant wait for some chemicals to work their magic. I was thinking of just dousing it in gasoline and trying to burn it, but its a little close to the fence.
