In one pile footrpint are 3 stump of different ages. One burned deep into the ground, one that did not light, and one that partially burned.

Uprooted stumps may not be burned in piles.  Under piles or during broadcast burns, stumps still rooted in the ground can be lit.   Depending on the extent of rot and drying – basically, age – a stump may burn deep into the ground, may burn like a half-green log and extinguish once moister interior wood is reached, or may refuse to sustain fire.  Each fate is pictured.
