I was having a problem keeping my temp down on my WSM when I first started using it, and still do a little bit. I used to not be able to keep it under 285ish to save my life, and then I started using a little less started/lit charcoal and a full bowl of water. Now I can get it lower, but no way I can keep it around 225. 250 is about as low as I can get it at the moment, which is fine with me because everything has turned out great.

You're going to have a hard time controlling your temp with the snake in a kettle. I smoke mine at 225 uncovered until it hits 195 in a BGE. In a kettle, you might want to put 250-300 degree smoke until it hits 160 or so then wrap and finish in a 300 degree oven.
