Frozen propane bottle

After 10-15 minutes of running my Q200 the bottle is becoming covered in condensation and eventually I get a layer of ice on the side facing away from the grill. I have also noticed that the flame starts all blue and after 15 minutes the flames are longer and have large orange tips.

I am using a 16.4oz bottle. This bottle is about 10 years old, from a planned camping trip that never happened.

The weather has been in the mid 80's, humidity is in the 70-80% range.

Is this condensation and ice normal? I'm wondering if something is wrong with the regulator.

Orange flame
Orange flame is not enough air.

Ice on bottle is from fuel leaving the bottle rapidly.

Sounds like a regulator problem.
