An alternative is to remove the disks (platters), and have a barbecue.  
I'm assuming that  if  you were to melt the platters into a small pile 
of slag, that even the most enterprising of data-recovery specialists 
would have difficulties.  If a barbecue doesn't seem hot enough there 
are various additives you could add to increase the heat.  The additives 
I'm thinking of will certainly spoil your franks, some may even lead to 
the barbecue being included in the pile of slag.  Of course, there's 
probably information encoded in the barbecue that would end up being 
recovered.
