I didn't tell the whole story: the boiler's already been disassembled by
the asbestos removal people and it's the sections that need to be broken
up. They're 4 - 5' wide & about 300 - 400 lbs each (I said it was a HUGE
boiler).

That is a Man Sized boiler! Must have gone +2 million BTU.
I tended a big one like that back in college. It heated an entire grade
