It is normal for the regulator to get cold as the liquid propane turns to gas. If the pressure drop is great enough and the volume is high enough (which is to say, you are doing some serious barbecuing, the temperature can drop below freezing. At that temperature, the moisture in the air will form frost.
If this creates some sort of a problem, you can soak a towel in hot water and lay it on the regulator.

If drop is enough( 1 degree F per 15 PSI drop), water moisture is present and saturates the gas, and temp environment is close to freezing anyway then freezing will ocurr

Does a gas pizza oven require a gas regulator?
No, you do not "need" a regulator. The oven will work without it. However, the regulator controls the gas pressure. I bought two pizza ovens recently. One had a regulator and got up to the 650 degrees I set it to. The other did not have a regulator and would not rise above 500 degrees.
What is a gas grill regulator?
AnswerThe regulator forces the gas from the propane tank to maintain a constant discharge pressure-regardless of the level of propane in the tankA regulator does not force gas from a tank. It merely regulates the amount of pressure from the tank.

Is it normal for the gas grill regulator to get cold?
Yes the propane(or any other gas) is liquid for most of it's journey from tank to your stove. for that gas t be liquid it needs to be cold. The cold regulator is just the liquid propane chilling the regulator. The only hot part is when the gas is ignited.
