    keeping propane bottles warm

    I had a bit of an issue over the weekend using some 1lb bottles and large Discada cooker. Temperature was a bit chilly (around 34 or so) and my propane tank and regulator were freezing up and causing some sporadic issues with maintaining the flame. What do some of you folks do to help...

    Any tips or tricks? Preparing for the install on an ARB Base rack (if that makes any difference). Going to put the entry gland near the back of my FJ since I will be using the 100 w solar panel to keep the solar generator charged up.
