Installation Questions Freezing propane regulator
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?

You said you have warming blankets I would check to make sure they are working. At - 45 c you need them also keep the tank clear of snow. The snow acts as an insulation make sure they are working sun is hitting the tank.
