A method 10 for controlling a steam boiler 600 or oil heater for maximum fuel efficiency by systematically finding the most fuel-efficient combination of input control values 26, 48, 89, 96, 112, 114, 116, 166, 170, 204 and 208. A characteristic multi-dimensional look-up table is created by temporarily operating the process at all the possible functional combined settings of a plurality of input operators and recording for each combination of settings the resulting output values 602, 604 of a plurality of process parameters, for example, steam flow, 242, steam pressure 248, and exhaust composition 144, 148, 152.
