Hint I have about 4 gallons of barn find XS650 gas tank dregs.
Looks to me like you are going to burn a stump out.
About 20 minutes into the burn.
going along nicely. maybe a half cup of gas to get it going.

If you had gotten some stump remover, Potassium nitrate, and poured in those holes and watered it in and let sit for a couple of days, then you hit it with the blower, hold me tight, you would have seen Satan himself appear!
Covered the area where the holes were with a steel plate to help keep it burning down and sideways.
There were a bunch of chunks laying around, threw them in the hole in the trunk also.
Shut the blower off about 10PM added some chunks and ran it again from 4-6AM
At 8AM;
lots of progress, compare to first pic in this thread.
I think today I'm going to just cut a long V slot into the unburned part (over by the coffee cup) with the chainsaw, cover it with the steel plate (faster, easier than boring holes) and repeat burning it out tonight.

An interesting technique! That video it looked like a blast furnace. 
A guy I used to work with told me about something his father did on his farm. He had some sort of massive stump he wanted removed so he dug around it and put a bunch of dynamite under it. He blew the stump out alright……along with all the windows on one side of his house!

Speaking of dynamite.....classic story.
