I've run my stove in very cold conditions. I've never even though of the propane lines freezing up. I don't think the gas is flowing through them rapidly enough if you're just using the stove, fridge, or propex to cause it to chill down on its own due to expansion. I think if you had a leak, then yes. But I believe the propane has to REALLY flow fast to do that much of a cooling effect. So, you'd only really be subjected to ambiant temperature of the air. A propane torch would probably classify as that "moving alot of propane REALLY fast" situation that would cause it's own cooling. -Craig '85GL turned WESTY BOSTIG in the back '87 SUNROOF Syncro On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 8:57 PM, David Beierl <dbeierl@attglobal.net> wrote: > At 05:41 PM 11/8/2010 -0800, Alistair Bell wrote: > >> Karl, have you had any issues with gas lines freezing when using >> propex in sub zero temps? >> > > I've had a propane torch go out in my hands at -20F.
