- TREE STUMP REMOVER TOOL IN 5 EASY STEPS: STEP 1 – dig a trench around the stump. STEP 2 – place the Stump Chimney over the stump, fill it with briquettes and light the fire. STEP 3 – let the fire burn for 1.5 hours and then fill up with more briquettes. STEP 4 – Remove the Stump Chimney when the stump is burnt up. STEP 5 – fill the hole of where the stump used to be with soil and sow grass.
- QUICKER THAN CHEMICALS: When using root dissolver like potassium nitrate stump remover or copper nails to kill tree stump, then you still have to remove the stump manually after many months of waiting for the chemicals and copper nails to have effect. With the Stump Chimney the job is done in 1-2 days and left is only a hole in the ground which you have to fill with some soil and seeds. You avoid the hassle of having to dig up the dissolved stump.
- TOOLS NEEDED: Beside a StumpChimney do you also need spade, briquets and lighter fluid to remove a tree stump and kill tree roots. When it is hard to position the chimney around the stump because of large roots, you might need to use an axe to make place for the Stumpchimney. With larger stumps is it recommended to drill holes into the stump before lighting the fire. This way, heat will be transferred faster to the center of the stump.
- SWEDISH MADE PRODUCT: This tree stump remover is manufactured and patented in Sweden. It is easy to assemble, and it is delivered in a flat package 58 x 18 x 4 cm. Includes an easy to read, step by step manual.

Product Description
Remove stumps yourself with a Stump Chimney. This is how it works
REMOVE TREE STUMPS YOURSELF. With little preparation, a few tools and 1 hour’s work, the stump is gone. The rest of the time, the Stump Chimney takes care of itself. The Stump Chimney is a simple metal construction, that is easy to assemble, that is adapted to the appearance of the stumps and the way they are placed in the ground. It can be used on uneven ground as well as in cases where stumps are located near rocks. Even those with a little experience can use it. The stump needs to be at least a year old. In addition to a Stump Chimney, a spade, briquettes and lighter fuel are needed. Sometimes also an axe or chainsaw and drilling machine.
The Stump Chimney removes tree stumps up to 40 cm in diameter. With two Stump Chimneys that are put together, the stump can be up to 60 cm in diameter. It can in many cases be used instead of a stump grinder or chemicals and can be reused for at least 10 stumps in your garden.
The Stump Chimney has detailed instructions and videos on how to install it and how to best remove your stump. It is an all-Swedish product and is patented and manufactured in Sweden.

Step 1 – Dig a trench
Dig a trench as best as you can around the stump that is at least a year old. Preferably about 10 cm deep. The stump will burn down as far as the trench is deep. The trench also acts as a barrier, preventing hot coals from spreading.
Tips for better combustion
Drill a few holes in the stump with a long drill. Drill diagonally through the entire stump. The hole should start at the top edge of the stump and end on the opposite side down near the ground. The heat will rise into the hole and the stump will also burn from the inside. With more holes, the stump burns up faster. The best drill is a centre drill or twist drill, which is 400 mm long with a diameter of 16 – 20 mm.
Step 2 – Place the Stump Chimney over the stump, fill with briquettes and light
If there are roots protruding from the stump, they can either be cut off with an axe or the sides of the Stump Chimney can be adjusted in height. It is important that the Stump Chimney stands firmly on the ground and does not topple over.
Fill the gap with briquettes between the sides of the Stump Chimney and the stump, so that they come up to the edge of the stump.
Pour lighter fluid from above and light.
Step 3 – Let the fire burn for 1.5 – 2 hours. Fill up more briquettes
As the briquettes burn up, the patented folding plates will fold in towards the stump, bringing pre-heated air towards the stump, therefore improving combustion. If the stump is low, the upper folding plates will not lean against the stump. In this case they act as a barrier to keep the heat close to the stump.
The briquettes burn up after 1.5 to 2 hours.
For small dry stumps, there is no need to add more briquettes, but in most cases another round of briquettes is needed. Fill up with the same amount of briquettes as the first time. The briquettes will catch fire from the residual heat around the stump.
Step 4 – When the stump has burned up
Once the briquettes has burned up, the stump will not burn with an open flame but will burn (smoulder) slowly inside the chimney. This will take a few hours depending on the size of the stump and sometimes it can take up to 24 hours.
Once the stump has burned up, simply lift off the Stump Chimney. Now it is a pit ground where the stump used to be.
Step 5 – Extinguish the remaining embers and fill in with soil
In some cases, the remaining parts of the stump are still smouldering. This can be difficult to see or feel. Always extinguish it with plenty of water. Use at least two 10 l buckets, preferably more.
Now it’s just a matter of filling the pit where the stump used to be with soil and sowing in new grass or planting something else.
Now the stump is gone!
Why is it difficult to burn stumps
It can be explained by the fire triangle. For something to burn, it needs fuel (the stump), oxygen (which is plentiful) and heat. What is missing to burn down a stump is the heat. When the stump, which is usually a little damp, starts to burn, not enough heat is generated to keep it burning and it goes out. When you put wood on top of the stump, no heat is generated that goes down into the stump, but the heat rises upwards and cold air is sucked in towards the stump.
The Stump Chimney solves this probmen
The Stump Chimney consists of sheet metal sides that are joined together to form a chimney around a stump. The space between the stump and the Stump Chimney is filled with briquettes and when the briquettes burn, so much heat is generated that the stump starts to burn. At the bottom of each side there are air holes where the oxygen enters. Inside the chimney, above the air holes, there are folding plates that direct heated air towards the stump to increase the heat around the stump.
