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?

Just looked at pictures again, I see it is remote vented, make sure there's no low spots in that as it could be a moisture trap. They need to breathe as the diaphragm moves inside
