PSA: My propane forge regulator froze up during a big Damascus billet weld

It was 20 degrees in the shop last Tuesday, and the thing just locked solid halfway through the stack. I had to wrap a heat gun around it for ten minutes to finish the weld. Anyone else in a cold climate have a better fix for this?

Saw someone online say they used a space heater from a safe distance. Worked like a charm for them lol.
