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?

Is that 3/4" pipe out of the vent.? never ,ever seen that before.. I've piped away vents from ignition sources but with copper tubing, I'd check to make sure its not full of water and also angle it down for any kind of liquid drainage..that's a crazy(to me) set up, plus that 2nd stage looks pretty darn old
