Starting and warm-up techniques

The B&S manual that came with my Ariens machine was pretty succinct about how to start the engine. It says full choke, two pushes on the primer, full throttle.
It seems to me that once the machine starts running, you should throttle back to idle for one or two minutes to let the oil circulate and the engine warm up a bit before going back up to full throttle and start blowing snow. Or maybe you should start the engine with just partial throttle to avoid racing it initially?
The manual, however, says nothing about lowering the throttle or warming up the engine before proceeding. I'm curious about how fellow snowblowoholics handle this.
Anybody using innovative or cautionary techniques?
