Once again penmart sticks his foot deep into his mouth.

The guys was asking about smoking a brisket. You did see that,
didn't you? He's not talking about pot roast.

The normal final internal temperature for smoked brisket is in
the 190-200 F range. To cook a brisket ahead of time, pull it out
of the smoker around 180 F, wrap and fridge it. Cook the next day
to the normal temperature (190-200 F). This works for pork butt as
well.

It's a common technique in restaurants.
