The challenge with a kettle is keeping the temperature low, steady and with a long burn time. Out of the two methods I would favour snake in a kettle, my opinion is that it is better method for keeping the number of lit coals under control in a kettle. It's also very economical. Finished your cook, just break the snake so that it doesn't burn any more fuel. Minion also works but I've found it requires more fussing with the kettle to keep the temp down.
