Yeah, we usually cut a large/deep cross or X in the stump with the chainsaw first. It let's coals fall down into it which seems to help quite a bit to get it burning internally, but once it clogs with ash, you no longer get a good effect from it sometimes. I get lucky once in a while to where the roots will burn down around 2 to 3ft into the ground (at around a 45 degree or whatever angle they're at) and you can stick wire down the hole to verify it. Pretty cool when that happens but it's not often it does. They're usually too green, or choke themselves out, or get completely covered in ash which puts them out. I imagine cutting the cross into the stump would really help a bunch if using an oil burning stump burner. Direct that drip right at the middle of the X to keep that center burning as hot as possible. GB :)
