First charcoal snake cook....

I will say that neatly stacking them does make it easier to not have the coals touch the drip pan,  if you are using one.

Looking good. I did my first snake a few weeks ago and somehow, I didnt exepct it to work - maybe not having had the results I expected from the Minion method in a WSM, I expected more problems with the Kettle, but it worked a treat. I only did a fatty on a relatively short cook but I am tempted to a full pork shoulder ( we dont call them 'butts' here in the UK (far too refined, don't you know :-| ) on a snake in the WSM. I',m thinking I will need more than a 2x2 snake , as the heat source is much further away in a WSM , and it has a pan full of water to heat as well.

@Malcopop Something seems a-mis.  I've had excellent success using the modified Minion method on my 18" WSM.  It will hold temps just fine and cook forever   Here is what I do;  pour the ring full to the top from my bag of charcoal (KBB), take twenty out of the center, add 10-20 more to your starter and get them started. While the starters are getting hot, place your wood chunks on & in your unlit.  When your 30-40 are ready, put them in the crater you made in the center of the charcoal ring. Monitor the temps and shut down the vents early. This should burn at 225-235 for over 10 hrs.  Give it a try!!!
