Cooking a 3 bone rib roast. It was frozen, but thawed for 24 hours in the refrigerator and left on the counter most of the day. I figured I was good to go with the cook.

However, 1 hour and 15 minutes into the cook, my probe at center mass is still reading "Lo". I'm cooking at 250 - 300 and plan on a reverse sear.

Thoughts?

    Do you still have the directions that came with your thermometer which would give you an idea what temp "Lo" means? Are you cooking direct or indirect? Personally I think the meat is thawed, and I also don't think it's time to worry!

    I would re-seat the temp probe into the head unit.

    I agree that you need to read the directions that came with the probe. The probe may have burnt out. I have a maverick and when it reads LLL or HHH it means that the prove wire has shorted out either through moisture or heat damage. I have also kinked one that gave the same reading.

    OK. So I decided to slice the 3 rib roast in half. Probably a good call. There was a chunk in the middle that was still frozen. Not big, that's where the probe was. Seasoned the newly created ends and back on the egg at 300. I'm still planning on the reverse sear.

    Pics to follow.

    The small, one bone piece, is resting in foil in a cooler with an internal temp of 124. The larger, 2 bone, piece has an internal temp of 98. Small piece was on for 2:40. I'm guessing large piece will go for about 3:20.
