I did that once. Every day, a brushoff of the
previous day's ashes, more charcoal, plenty of heat.
Only needed a little over a week on that one.

To burn these stumps, a contained fire would work
a lot better, although a hot maintained fire will also
work. You will need a bunch of fuel, so you need to build a
bonfire around the stump.

You reminded me. Many years ago I had a mesquite stump to get rid of
(mesquite is *very* hard).
Sawed it off as flush to the ground as I could manage with a big
logger's saw, then dug around the roots to expose them.
Covered the whole thing with charcoal and lit it off.
Daily I'd come home from work and add more charcoal.
It was gone (below ground-level) in slightly over a week.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
