I like it. That will last the whole day or until the fire department gets there – whichever comes first.
The fire department will be there all day if they do come, so it’s a win-win.
Nothing beats roasting chestnuts over the traditional blazing Kwanzaa Root Ball
Strangely enough, you’d probably get some good BTUs out of that log if it were placed in a proper fireplace or stove.
I see that burning down a bit and having a weight shift. Probably ok unless left unattended.
It looks photoshop’d to me. If not it’s def a bad idea!
I keep coming back to look at this moslt because it seems like such a bad idea! Note the burning at the back of the hearth…I see burnt down logs and flames. The metal wood holder is too far forwards in the hearth. The pipe is simply wedged slightly under the new log and is not holding anything up. If this isn’t PS’d probably less than half the width of the log is in the hearth so I really think this is BS.
(BS = Before Scorching)
Can the chowderheads who see something their brain can’t grasp STOP yelling “photoshopped”, and also stop trying to apply their meagre grasp of physics to whatever it is that needs to be “explained” as being impossible, thus “validating” their yelling “photoshopped”?
If that’s your kneejerk reaction, I will come, fix your knees and display them here on thereifixedit leaving no doubt that what is shown is real, not photoshopped, yet thoroughly and incredibly fixed. I’ll leave your fingers intact so that you can still type a reply stating same.
If it was logical, it wouldn’t be on here, would it?
This is a traditional Festivus fire which must burn when we are airing our grievances.
Judging by ths size of this root ball, we apparently have a whole hell of a lot to gripe about; several weeks worth!
What a waste of a beautiful piece of wood.
Snce they appear to be DIY-ers, they could have sliced it across and polish it up for a gorgeous occassional table top.
Probably already burned the chairs though
My dad is a fireman. He may call me up to lecture me on fire safety just because I am LOOKING at that picture!
::shudder::
I guess Monty isn’t on the run no more…
Guys, you’re missing the amazing fix it job. Nice pole job, dude!
Ph, I certainly saw that and immediately thought about a weight shift, thus leaving hot pole and burning root on the carpet. I just hope their home insurance was up to date!
Waste not, want not, but you don’t have to burn the whole thing in one chunk. I mean, unless you really are just trying to catch the attention of local emergency services.
Instructions for use:
1. Knot one end of rope and feed the other through the hole in the side of the pipe
2. Slowly play out rope as you walk away and hide behind a large boulder
3. Wait until your victim shows up and falls asleep in front of the fire, then give a sharp tug on the rope
4. Tree stump will remain lodged in fireplace but pipe will come flying towards you, hitting you in the face and knocking you to the ground
5. The impact of the fall will dislodge the boulder causing it to roll over and flatten you like a pancake
6. Beep Beep!

Wile E Coyote never learned to read. He just follows the pictures like a LEGO set.
Which of course was his inspiration for starting Ikea, where no man is judged by his knowledge of the written word, but by figuring out what the hell the diagram maker was smoking when he drew it up. But not before he faked his death, and forged his Swedish citizenship… Wile E Coyote indeed.
I can’t imagine what could go wrong.
We all know this didn’t end well.
Rooting out chimney fires since 2009.
What could possibly go wrong?
My elderly mother put one end of a 6′ log in the fireplace, with the other end extending across the living room floor. As it was consumed by the fire, she kept pushing it farther in. I inherited my sense of propriety from her, so what can I say?
We do that all the time… OUTSIDE!!!
looks like someone killed one of the giant tree people from that one lord of the rings movie. this is the best way to get rid of the body.
Until the rest of the Ents come looking for their buddy & smash your house to bits.
The Holidays can be hectic. Why waste your time chopping firewood?
“Honey, could you throw another log on the fire”
Looks like “Honey” finally got tired of tossing a twig in the fireplace every 5 minutes and decided to solve it the manly way…
I’m stumped as to how he hopes to burn this Yule log in one go.
It’s a Yule log. As in “Yule be calling the fire company soon”.
If I give ‘er any more she’ll blow, Captain!
really seems like a photoshop to me.
What gets me is that someone was not only able to, but ambitious enough, to pull that sucker out of the ground and yet couldn’t find the energy to make it a weeee bit smaller…
That’s ’cause he spent it all on plucking it, and what little he had left was just enuff to get it into the fireplace and pipe-prop it.
Despite their soul-crushing sorrow over the loss of the Hometree at the hands of the RDA Militia, the Pandoran Na’vi remained a practical people…
Ouch…!
Is it just me, or does this tree look quite a bit like a heart?
Yeah, it does. That’s what puts the heart in heartwood.
I thought it looked like an upside-down tortoise but I see the human heart too.
Yeah, I guess it looks like a tortoise, provided the thing has growths. But hey, it’s wood, it’s hard to get a perfect shape.
New from Outback…the Bloomin Fireplace!
That looks like the burl from a maple tree. Burl wood usually goes for about $10-$50 a pound, depending on the size. Figure they just burnt up about $2,000 worth of wood.
But if it came from their own back forty then they saved on their heating bill. At least until the house burned down.
At first I thought this MUST be an outdoor fireplace, and then… I noticed the corner of the cabinet…How many alarms for your standard stump fire?
This is simply knot a good idea. I know I wooden’t be caught dead tree-ing something like this.
As the taker of the picture and pole under stumper I can attest to it as not Photoshopped. After heaving the enormous stump and sweating like hell in the process, I realized the perilous situation it presented and snapped a picture. It however burned with out incident and 12 hours later it was the size of a soccer ball…
Day 61: I found this HUGE log, that I hope to create a fire from. With a bit of luck it’ll scare of the zombies for a while. If I just can get this log burning…
Does anyone else see a wooden rhino, lying on its back with its mouth agape, being subjected to flaming torture?
