Having a separate high limit aquastat is a good idea no matter what. That should stop an overheating situation, but won't stop you from coming home to a cold boiler if the Hydrostat flakes out.

A while back I talked to someone that had some problems with Hydrostats on Van Wert units, and said he corrected the issue by powering the stoker motor via a relay. Perhaps the start-up load of a typical stoker motor is enough to make the control act funny.
I'm not sure how much of a load the stoker motor is over an oil burner. Either way I'm going to have to figure something else out. Thanks Rob
