Ready to build first mash tun...

[Denny]

It's your first AG brew...don't sweat the temp. If you were, say, 5 degrees low this time just heat your water 5 degrees hotter next time. A couple times doing that to dial things in and you won't have to waste time preheating your tun.

yup thats what i do. preheating seems like a wasted step once you dial your equipment in. Beersmith makes this nice.
