Build a bonfire on it.

Ah, we've already discounted that one earlier in the thread due to
proximity of fences etc!

Friend of mine swears by drilling holse and pouring in saltpeter and
igniting it.

Somebody else mentioned that one, and I'm tempted to give that a go.
Sounds like fun apart from anything else!

Now... in this post 9/11 age that we live in, where the hell would I go
