Hi clare,

Have you got this sorted. Usually the LLL means that the probe is reading a temerature below what it's capable of reporting or he probe is damaged. Let me know how you get on. Try the other probe in the same port just to test.

Cheers

Adie

I'll sort out getting it swapped for you. Is it just the probe?

we have removed batteries, changed probes over etc it is "finding" the probes because it is picking up the food probe temp - are we just being dumb :)

it is defo the probe as we swapped them over and when the bbq probe was put in the food hole it changed the position of the LLL*F up to food on the receiver

I doubt it Clare, does the probe that works provide you with a reading when plugged into the BBQ port and the food port?

If so then it would lead me to believe you have a rogue probe.

Yes the food probe gives a reading in both ports

On a plus side our 4 birds smell great ;)
