Pause during warmup, BEFORE purge line?

I'm printing something with ASA and I'm trying to streamline the enclosure warmup process. I have an enclosure heater that works well, but is not powerful enough to maintain my desired enclosure temp by itself. My strategy up to now is to just manually set the bed temperature, and continually check/change it before the safety timer shuts it down. It's been working pretty well, and I've seen a noticeable improvement in print quality when the enclosure is preheated for at least an hour, but it requires a lot of attention to keep refreshing the safety timer. 

I tried setting a pause in PrusaSlicer before the first layer but the problem is that it preheats, lays the purge line, then pauses and all the filament in the nozzle leaks out during the pause. This causes the skirt to come out all messed up.

I'm wondering if there's a way that I can manually adjust the G-Code to follow this series of events:

-Preheat Bed

-Pause/maintain temp for 60 minutes

-Preheat hotend after pause

-Continue with normal process (bed leveling, purge line, etc)

 

Any help or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

RE: Pause during warmup, BEFORE purge line?

PrusaSlicer - enable Expert mode in top right corner, then in Printers > Custom Gcode > Start G-code and adjust the order of the commands there, save as new printer profile and use it for the prints.

 

Though with 1h warmup is quite long, I'd rather use separate system just to keep the chamber temperature all the time when required without interfering into the gcode?

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.
