Tree stumps. Pipes and a Zysset burner lead to a large tree stump on a Summit View farm in May of 1922. Pieces of wood shavings are stuffed in the burner's ground-level opening in preparation for firing. The problem of removing tree stumps had previously entailed much hard labor and expense. The Zysset burner had been tested extensively and claimed to burn through a four-foot stump in 24 hours. It was possible to rid a clearing of stumps efficiently and relatively quickly using only the stump's own wood shavings and no other fuel in addition to a two-inch pipe to supply an air draft.
