I've learned that sometimes for the sake of harmony it's best to bite my tongue... Wash it out real good with detergent and hot water. I use Tide liquid clothes soap for stuff like that. If you are really worried about it blowing up tie a rag onto a long sapling - 12' long or so. Soak the rag in diesel fuel and light it.

That will warp it all to heck. Use an angle grinder with a cut off wheel on it. Cuts real fast and clean. If you don't have a cutoff wheel you should get one as they are very handy. You could also use a jig saw on it after you drill holes in the 4 corners.
