I didn't think anyone would dispute this.
Why do you suppose a car engine has better combustion efficiency as it warms up?
Why do you suppose EPA wood stoves heat the incoming air?
Ad Nauseum.
Combustion occurs somewhere around 1600-1800 degrees F for wood pellets. I highly doubt 30-50 degree F air (it WILL warm up before it gets to the chamber) would have that much effect on the combustion of your pellet stove.
