I used an 8-pound sledge, a 4-pound drilling hammer and a mason's chisel, and a big pry bar -- but mine was a really hard brick with very hard mortar. Keep it damp enough with a spray bottle of water to keep the dust down -- and if you can't do that, wear a dust mask. Wear shoes or boots with toe protection, and gloves. Cover electronics and anything else that the dust can harm. And have fun -- demolition can be good for the soul. I just did that myself.
