Drill a 1 inch hole in each stump. Fill the hole with Salt Peter aka Sodium Nitrate and let sit a year. Then burn it. You may need a permit?

I just let stumps rot a slower form of oxidation ;)) but I'm dealing with oak not cedar.

My brother never cut down trees he always digs them out. That way you can leverage the tree to pop it out. Come alongs mean anything to you? Sounds like a lot of toil but over time it is not too bad.

If you want quick results you need energy or money in one form or another.
