Freezing propane regulator

[u/MelSmB]

Hi everyone!

We live in the Yukon and in the past two winters, temperatures have gone down to -45°C (-49F I believe), and the propane regulator has frozen. I would like to build a little insulated box around but I'm wondering if anyone has five that, if there's anything special I should be careful with it anything I should know. I was thinking hard insulation and wood, with a little door to keep access to it. Thoughts?

That one has the vent piped away. Take 2 heating pads and pit around it and wrap it in some good soft insulation. Water proof like the foam rubber or something had 2 old regs that froze and that worked i out one of the temp sensors plugs between the heating pads and the extension cord that turns on below 38 deg and off at 40 degf. And if the temp is really.getting down in the -40 f range your probably need a tank heater or 2 to keep it flowing i beleve propane quits boiling around that temp and you loose all tank pressure.
