What has been found to be the best setting for a maxim to idle when it gets warm out? I havent found it because ever day it is about 50-60deg, my fire runs out.

I've been able to idle at min feed and a little more air with corn. Pretty dirty fire when it is 50-60 all day though.
If I can find some pellets for less than 200 I will experiment.
Might want to shut down during the day and just run at night

I picked up a ton of pellets and am on my third day now.
Idle settings all green for both feed and air. Hasn't gone out yet. Suppose to be in the 60s later in the week. The unit does creep up in temp a little more than with corn at the same setting.
One thing I have learned is to not open the door
This seems to upset a very slow idle.
