It depends on if you are planning on keeping the radiator. I was actually able to melt mine into pure iron. I used a home made blow torch: Extract butane into an old oxygen container, modify the nozzel to blow the gas out faster. I melted it all down in about an hour. You will need a good ammount of butane for this, but it's guaranteed to work.
You can also make some cool things out of the melted iron. I made a nice model of a cat.

Make sure if it's connected that you drain the boiler. (VERY IMPORTANT) But the guy who came to my house used two pipe wrenches and a lot of elbow grease. If you aren't completely sure of what you're doing get a professional.
