Hi Jerry, I've done the thermite reaction lots of times and I can tell you it is screaming hot! It'll melt through glass, steel, boil staight down through three feet of water... Dangerous hot! But it won't be any good on a stump. It burns way too fast, and then the resulting lump of red hot steel cools off and it's done. You want something of a slow burning fuel, The diesel idea is best. I make big piles of stumps, and I really don't have much success burning them...
I find they come out of the ground ok if you use pallet forks to back drag, exposing main roots, then get the forks under the ball and pry up. I've taken out some huge stumps that way. From trees 30" or so at the butt.
So now I have several piles of huge old stumps that just won't burn... I think I'll try that diesel trick...
