Who knows with the rust welded hardware and you are well schooled on running the torches in your area outdoors but all that brown with open flame and slag dripping would give me the DT's......if I was doing it, I would soak the flanges in the cheapest PB Blaster type lube I could find and impact the hardware at the flange connections. It'll be slower and a pain compared to burning the joints but grass fire would really scare me. Take it out in the longest sections you can handle to chop in a safer location. Maybe a big plasma torch if the impact idea busts......
As a side note......your project posts are great. I really enjoy reading them.
Edited to add: 8" pipe 1/4 wall (I am assuming 10-12 foot sections) in the air.......crane truck might come in handy to boom material to the ground as you section it.
