Next to my shop is this big oak stump. I use it to dispose of dirty gasoline. I mean gasoline I use for cleaning bearings and such. I drilled 1 inch holes in the stump, pour the gas in and set it on fire.

It is slowly burning the stump away - but thats the second purpose of it.

Hi Gunnar,
Well my Uncle Dave has kind of been doing that for years. Although he only uses that on some small kindling pieces in a bucket, using deisel fuel on the bottom, no fear of fumes in the basement. Those kindling pieces take right off and he swears by it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I mix a little diesel with my old oil & use about one cup on a little kindling to start my wood stoves. Just don't use it unless the ashes are cold. If it starts smoking before you light it the smoke is explosive.

I like your idea for starting an outdoor fire. I always have a pile of branches, and larger material piled at the burn pit just begging for a good fire. I'll just give that method a try real soon.
