Smokenator, Slow n’ Sear, Snake Method, or Minion Method (Weber Kettle)

What’s the FDB’s method of choice for smoking on a Weber kettle? I don’t know if the Smokenator, and especially the Slow n’ Sear, are worth the price.
What say ye?
I am smoking St. Louis cut ribs using the snake method, perhaps the minion method, on Sunday. I will be using Royal Oak charcoal, and will post the results.

I like the smokenator on a longer smoke since you lose a good amount of space using the snake method for anything over 8 hours. The downside is that you do have to occasionally add coals/wood in the smokenator where you can pretty much leave it alone for the snake.

I have an 18in Weber kettle. I wish I had the larger version. I use the snake method with about two feet maybe a little less of coal. That has been perfect for about 4 hours of cooking time at 250 to 270 temp. I open the vents at about a little less than 1/4 inch both up and down. I have cooked Baby Backs and a good size Pork Loin roast.
Obvious tip: leave the thing alone..do not keep checking the meat. Just take a quick feel/touch of the lid to make sure it is hot.

Snake always gives me great results. I make the snake with 2x2 briquettes and put some wood on top of that. Use large chunks of wood. Half a chimney to get it started and I leave it alone for at least two hours before opening the lid. I may move the meat around at that point to the side that has already burned up so that it isn’t directly over the heat.

I use a BBQ Guru with my WSM. This thing makes it a no brainer to keep it set at a specific temp. I also will use the Binion method to make the charcoal last longer.
