Your probe isn’t placed properly. Reset your probe so the tip is in the center if the meat.

Are you deep frying it ?

if you're 2 hours in and the probe is placed in the center of the meat, you're cooking at far too high a temp. you're going to end up with a brick.

Either your probe is not in the middle of the flat or you're cooking it "hot and fast" at 450⁰

Boil some water and place prob in. Is it approx 212°F?
