    does back boiler need removing?

    Hi, We recently had a gas man round to remove and old 80's style gas fire (see here), after removing it we found a backboiler behind it which as far as i can gather is a solid fuel on which has been left connected but obviously is never used. here are some picture of the backboiler: pic 1...
