Stop in for a cup of coffee

I build the pile yr round then light it up late winter then start all over again

That's what I would like to do including my stumps but the permit police have come out here and shut down a fire, don't want to deal with that. That guy had poured a TON of diesel to get his going and it really never did and the fumes were going to a neighboring property who called it in. Got any tricks/tips for burning stumps?
