The following story will not hold any advice for you, but it is related.
When we bought our house in 2009, there was a tree in the yard that I wanted to take down. I took a saw to it, and cut it down at about stomach/chest height. From that point, I thought maybe I'd make some sort of standing table there out of it, using the tree as the base. So I kinda just let it sit for a year.
That 4th of July, we were shooting fireworks, and I started using the stump of that tree to sit them on while firing. An ember must have floated down by the very base, because the next day when I got home from work, the stump had the tiniest bit of smoke rising from it. Upon closer inspection, it was slowly starting to burn away.
I chainsawed it down to about shin level, and let the thing slowly burn itself away. Took it about a week, never saw a flame, could barely even notice any embers. Burned itself completely up. Even the roots.
