It's a wood boiler and I do it that way manually now and it works
great.
The problem is that when the fire goes down the circulator runs all the
time unless I shut it off.


Sounds like you need an aquastat to control the circulator. *It will shut
off below a set water temperature.


Pointless unless the boiler has a thermostat.


He already said it has a thermostat. *If the T-stat is calling for heat it
will start the circulator even if there is no fire. *An Aquastat keeps the
water from circulating unless it is hot enough.


No he hasn't.
