I smoked three racks of St. Louis ribs last night for about five hours using a snake . I was going to post pics but I was battling thunderstorms and flash floods!
Here is the setup.
And here are the prepped ribs.
I put hot water in the pans and dumped 1/2 chimney of lit coals on the left end of the snake. The rolled ribs stood on the grate over the pans. It held 265°-285° for almost four hours, then dropped to 200°. I dropped about eight lit coals on top of the last 8" of the snake and the temp went back to 275° for the last hour.
