I want to add approx 20' of baseboard off a steam boiler. I want to be able to control it independentaly from the steam. I know about the flow controls, by-pass, thermometer and bronze circulator. But don't I need an aquastat to fire the boiler if boiler isn't running for the steam?
Is there any other circ, other than bronze B&G 100?

Yes, you would need an aqua stat to fire the boiler if it isn't running for steam.
All you could want to know is here: https://heatinghelp.com/systems-help-center/how-to-run-a-hot-water-zone-off-a-steam-boiler/NJ Steam Homeowner. See my sight glass boiler videos: https://bit.ly/3sZW1el0 -
