At the 2005 Burning Man event, RFBM realized it could no longer support the shack building used since 1995. To finalize this decision, Gordon began disposal of the old shack pieces in the hope that this would force the RFBM staff to either fund the next shack or stop doing Radio Free Burning Man.

The destruction of old shack components was concentrated to those pieces which would not be used reasonably in the development of a replacement structure. These pieces were: 14 wall pieces, 2 door pieces, 10 roof pieces, 7 fascia pieces, 6 decorative pilasters, and 4 window surrounds. Five roof pieces, the pilasters, window surrounds, 7 fascia pieces, and the frame for the front door piece were disposed of in burn platforms on-site at the end of the 2005 event. These pieces contained no materials considered unsuitable for burning on burn platforms and were not suitable for donation to the various disaster relief efforts. Remaining pieces have been retrieved from storage and scrapped at home. All that remained for reuse were the floors and all of the veranda components.
