You have a leak. Propane only freezes that fast when it is exposed to damp air. Recheck the system for leaks or excessive fuel flow.

If the regulator is not leaking and it still freezes you have no water flow.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
