the points will reach a temp of 185F.  Remove from smoker and wrap the tented points up in a heavy towel. Place in a preheated cooler close lid and monitor as they will continue to cook.  Target temp. for finished product is 190F.

Olds, did a brisket flat using your method and I must say it turned out great.  I did have one problem though and this seems to happen to me all the time. 

I was smoking this for a party Sunday for the Skins game.  I timed everything pretty well.  The brisket was done around 10:00am.  I figured I could FTC it for a few hours until we were ready to eat and it would still be hot.  As soon as I removed the brisket I wrapped it tightly in foil and a couple towels and put it in a preheated cooler.  Only thing is when I put it in the cooler it did not continue to cook or maintain the temp. it began dropping pretty quick.  It went from 185 to 175 in about 30 minutes.  I knew at this rate I couldn't leave it in the cooler as long as I wanted to. Is there any secret to this?  I don't think I have had a cut of meat I was smoking continue to cook while I FTC it yet.
