Best aquastat for outdoor boiler?

I'm gradually gathering all the pieces for building my outdoor boiler. I'm considering different options for the aquastat control. What I would really like to put on this is an aquastat that outputs a 4-20 milliamp signal to control a variable frequency drive for the draft blower. But I will settle for a 2 stage that will open a draft damper and turn on the draft blower as needed. What is everyone using on their boiler?

I hope your not adjusting the combustion air. You need to keep the stack temp over 110 or it will condensate and the acid from that will corrode it out in 2 years.

4-20 ma is Honeywell system, you need amplifier and more. Probably have to use Honeywell motor as well. If they haven't been bought out. Check with Customair out of Oklahoma if they are still around.

I just have an on off fan/ damper setup.

I was thinking about using a 3 phase motor on the fan and a single phase input 3 phase output variable frequency drive so I could manually adjust fan speed according to outside temps.

I would love to know more if you figure out how to do this automaticly.
