Insulated cover for yellow Calor gas bottle

[Haille]

I am looking for an insulated cover for a yellow Calor gas bottle to prevent gas from freezing at temperatures below -2degrees.I have put a plastic cover over the regulator to try and keep water off it thereby trying to minimising freezing of regulator. Any suggestions? Thanks

I don’t think yellow (butane) cylinders are intended to be left outside, as you say the boiling point of butane is only -2 degrees. Would it be possible to switch to propane (red/grey cylinders) which has a boiling point around -40 degrees? It could be as simple as changing the regulator, which might cost similar to a cover.

Gas bottles cool as the gas in them is used (evaporates), so in cold weather insulating an outside bottle would just make it more lightly to freeze.
You would need a insulation system with built in heating, but as above, there are better ways to achieve the same result.

You could build a rudimentary wooden box around it and insulate that with widely available fibre glass.

Many thanks for all your replies.

That's what my parents have had in place for years and it works well.
