Can someone recommend me a axe

[born2trot]

Ive seen a few poor attempts, well lots of diesel, hole drilling and old engine oil but still left with nothing less than a charred tree stump that still needed grinding out.

 

I burnt out few alder stumps back in the early days but I dug underneath them,bored through the top and got a nice fire going.

 

I burnt out a large dead beech stump yesterday , first time trying this for me . Had to keep the fire manageable as it was next to what use to be stables . I had to extinguish the hot coals last night for safety reasons which was really unfortunate because this was what i was trying to create . I got it down a good few inches but was still left with a big charred stump which i cross cut with the saws ( older ones ) and split with pickaxe to get down the last few inches .

Not viable unless you can supervise it 24/7 and feel it safe enough to burn down overnight. Poured gallons of water over it and was turning to steam instantly , even hours later.... too dangerous for customers imo
