First and foremost, obtain a burning permit from your local municipality(this will ensure that it is legal to burn in your area) As for the burning itself. The safest way is to obtain a 55 gallon drum and remove the top and bottom. This will ensure containment of the fire. When it comes to the actual fire, there are many theories. I can only attest to what has worked for me. I do not use any chemicals or petroleum products. (I live on a waterway) I use seasoned wood and pack it into the drum and light like a camp fire. For a stump approx. 24 inches in diameter it takes about 2-3 days. The drum being around it allows me to leave the fire and stump and get some sleep.
There are people that will drill holes in the stump and fill with diesel, kerosene, or saltpeter(sodium nitrate), then burn. I cannot attest to this method due to my land being on a waterway. But in conclusion remember to make sure it is legal in your area, and that you are safe in your containment of the fire.
Burning a stump rarely works. The dirt surrounding the roots and stump prevent a complete burn. The most effective removal is stump grinding. In most cases you can have it done for less than renting a machine.

How do you decorate after a stump removal?
A big stump in the middle of your yard probably does not look attractive, but there are several options to consider. They sell a stump remover that you sprinkle on the stump and after it has worked you can either remove the stump yourself or burn it out. Another option is to make a table out of the stump. I have also seen a chain saw expert make an animal out of a stump.
Would salt and water kill a tree stump?
No it would not, your best bet would be to have a stump removal specialist come and do it for you. If you know about fungi then use oyster mushrooms to decompose the stump, this way is slow and takes about a year but you get fresh oyster mushrooms to eat every rain. You can burn the stump depending on where you live and how old the stump is. If its fresh it will not burn good, but if its old it'll burn up nicely and *presto* no more stump. I use the mushroom method on stumps around my place and it works great, its taken about a year and the stump is wood chips now, I have probably ate around 3 pounds of oysters :)
Can a person do a fire in the ground to burn cut downed trees and stumps to clean up their land?
Take hot coals from your barbecue and place on the stump or light charcoal as you would a barbecue on the stump. Cover with a Weber type grill lid with an open vent. This will burn for quite a while. Repeat the process several times depending on the size of the stump. Be sure to remove all debris away from the stump and guard from children. There is a product called stump-rot that can be poured into drilled holes which works, also.
