Get a hot fire going in the drum. Refuel it a couple of times, the. Just leave it alone. Oh yea, you gotta shoot the drum a few times with a .22 near the bottom so it will get air. It will sit there, and draw like a lot bellied stove, consuming the stump.
Draft is key. So we would dig under to reach hole(s) drilled down from the top of the stump. Screwed some old stove pipe to the top of the stump over the min draft hole. Then added a little charcoal under the stump before setting up lawn chairs and some beverages. :banana:
The 55 gallon drum sounds way too easy.
