If you use the snake method you don't have to open the lid to turn the chicken.
( ) light the top left side and light the bottom right side, spread your smoking wood along each side,I have used like 4-5 lit briqs to each side and top and bottom vents wide open. I spatched my chicken and used a drip pan with water in it, next time I'm going to skip the water and I should get a higher temp (300 on both kettles) and it should crisp and brown the skin better.
