I've always thought it would be fun to burn out a stump with oxygen -
ordinary welding oxygen, with about 6' of 1/4" or so stainless steel tube;
start a little fire on top of the stump, and blow O2 on it. Would that
work?

It might make a good youtube video. ;-)

Good Luck!

I'll never forget going to a NASA exhibit in about 1966. The guy
dipped a cigarette in LOX. Then lit it up. It burned like a rocket
engine
