Propane Augers freezing up???

Chatting with another fishing buddy, he said his favorite fishing store in the Fox Valley Area stopped selling Propane Augers. The reason being (he was told), the fuel lines freeze up. The Gent was saying the compressed gas through the tubing gets too cold, hence the frost on the outside of the metal; like you see with the heaters,.. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this happening? My wife, God bless her, got me a Jiffy 4 for my birthday. And I used it all last season I drilled more than 120 holes. The auger always says outside. The coldest temp was near zero. I never had any issues and love it. A couple buddies that fish with are getting the same auger,... But, having an Auger failure could suck if you don't have a spare,..

I ice fish 4 days a week in the winter. Not a single freeze up. I leave auger outside but not laying in snowdrifts. 2 Pulls and its off to the races.

My eskimo propane was used in sub zero temps last year without freezing never had an issue with the propane but yes keep a few spares in warm temps someone suggested a small cooler with a hot pack in it...

Interesting......was at the the ice fishing show in West Allis last nite looking at the propane augers. Asked that question to the factory rep.....he hesitated, but did admit with freeze ups below zero if augers are out in the open for lengthy periods.
