Snowman Boiler Disposal

Ok, so I've struggled with these in the past. Aside from cutting the bolts and willing the old beast apart, I'd like to hear from anyone whose got ideas to cut down on cussing when it comes to disposing of 90 year old steam boilers. I'm starting a job replacing three of these this week, time savers would be much appreciated. (And yes, the asbestos is already abated.)

Snowmen.
We cut the bolts, split the pancakes then drop them to the floor. We usually break the bottom part up to make it lighter. Then the base and bricks go out.
These are almost never "clean" removals, but we try as best as we can to keep things clean.
Good luck. And give the heaviest sledge hammer to the youngest guy. Always makes for fun to see testosterone and cast iron duke it out.
