It's a cooking fire...

Lunchtime

I are confused... Are you trying to burn away a stump and grill lunch while you're at it? Is there a benefit to grilling your lunch over coals above a drilled-out stump?

Is that enough charcoal for 3 frankfurters?

They're Brats.

Not if they are that color, they're not. Brats are white.

In reply to Woody:

My kid is a Brat too. Oh wait, no, he's Brad.

I'm sure that's the case.

It is the best tasting stump removal method

I have a few stumps in the yard that I let the kids wail on with hammers and chisels for fun. Gives them something to destroy, and I don't have to do the work. Win-win.

Agreed. Or grey. But not red(dish). Possibly a Polish though.

I have friends that do this. They had a bunch of trees blow over in the last hurricane and then the drought killed some more. Now they just move their fire pit a couple of times a year.

Around here, there is an important distinction between a cooking fire and open burning. There is enough food present to ensure that this is one thing and not the other. If the stump should be gone in the morning, that's just a happy coinkydink...

Also: The wrapper says "Brats".

It probably also says they are made with "Pork."

Nope, beef.

-OR-

Say brat again. SAY BRAT again! And I dare you, I double dare you motherberkeleyer! Say brat one more time!

In all fairness I care not what they may be called, they are grilled and therefore DEberkeleyINGLICIOUS!!!!

I did not know about this method. I have 4 of these and did not know how to get rid of them. I will start moving my grill spot around. Did anything "accidentally" fall in those holes? Starting fluid maybe?

this, we were burning leaves and other yard junk from cleaning up the yard in a bbq grill once when the bitchy neighbor called the FD on us and said we were having a bonfire in the back yard. when we saw the truck roll up we threw the grates and a couple dogs on. FD comes up and says "no problem here, they're just grilling"

Only had the fire department come by once late at night during a "spare the air" no open burning day. The problem is there is an exemption for cooking and I do some smokey Q. That was weird.

I had the fire department come once and actually put the fire out. I was in an ambulance at the time so I didn't learn about it until later though. In their defense, it was a really big fire and we started it in a really dramatic fashion, hence the ambulance. Small fires are better.

You can't start a story like this and not fill in the blanks.

School bus sized brush pile. Accelerants. Idiocy. People always assume there must have been drinking, but my father and myself are capable of this without it. The back of one hand looks like tissue paper, skin doesn't know how to grow properly if you remove enough of it. Luckily my eyes were closed, I didn't take a breath, and the scaring on my face is limited to weird pigment on my neck. It did burn off all of my freckles though, which was weird. I have pictures, but you don't want to see them. Anyway, there's nothing you can accomplish with a big fire that you can't accomplish with a series of smaller fires instead. Woody's cooking fire is good.

I hope to build that kind of relationship with my son!

When the city took down the big maple on the terrace they cut/ground the stump below ground level.

Now I get Fungus.

I think stump shredders can be rented.

Burning is more fun. Probably kills the fungus too.

is it a humongus fungus?
