They didn't do a proper job. IMHO they should have left the Rayburn
still functional as a secondary heat source for HW and heating. It
should be possible to retro fit a "Dunsley Neutraliser" this allows a
oil/gas boiler and solid fuel boiler to co exist on the same system.


Is it not quite safe to run the stove with a totally empty back
boiler system?

Others have pointed out that the boiler will probably burn through or
the filling with fine dry sand. No experience, talk to Rayburn?

There are copper pipes leading up to the attic where, presumably,
there is an empty hot water tank.

What sort of system has been installed? Combie (oil combies exist but
are rare), presurised or normal open vented? Not sure if a Dunsley
Neutraliser can be fitted to anything other than open vented...
