OPEN BIDS
A hard to find tool, but works very well is a handheld diamond cutter with a flush cutting asembly and steel cutting disks.
We have used to cut really thick shafts with this equipment, and the finnish is better than melting and blow away.
the steel cuttind disks look almost exactly the same as a traditional diamond disk, but it uses different cutting segments.

that must be some house if it's built with steel I-beams. well constructed house indeed. mostly wood around here. never saw a house with steel beams in these parts. impressive.

use a plasma cutter if you can get ahold of one not as hot as a torch
If the web and flange are 1/4" or under it could be done with a reciprocating saw and a heavy duty bimetal blade(s). If it's thicker thatn that, wet the wood, keep water handy (and ABC fire extinguisher), cover everything around it with welding blankets and cut it with a torch. Keep your oxy pressure low though, so that you can control your flares better.
do you have to cut it to remove it or just cut it. I would just have a fire watch and cut it with a torch
