I am on my last leg, and this is my idea:

1) Drill a 1.5'' diameter hole in the stump, about 3-4 inches deep
2) Fill it with gunpowder
3) Cork it tight
4) Install a long fuse
5) Light it and run

Gonna have to do better than that.
Hole is not deep enough, and there would not be sufficient deoth to
tamp the charge......You fail to mention where in relatinship to stump
you intend to drill said charge hole.......you certainly do not want
to drill it in the cut end of the stump, or yuour gonna have a lot of
fragmentation, and more than likely still leave a heap of roots inthe
ground. YOu need toget down and under the stump with a bar, and no
hole drilling would be needed most of the times. A good placed charge
will loosen and lift stump and not fragment much if any at all.
Why not just buy some dynamite and electric or fuse type cap and be
done with it. Here yu can buy it all day long as long as you have a
drivers license and are a property owner........What ever you buy has
tobe uysed the same date as the purchase and can not be
stored......but thats hard to enforce.........Going price right now
for it is $2.09 for a stick, and .90 for a electric cap. I only use
electric so do not kow price of fuse type or the price of fuse.
