Well I finally got to smoking today. Wife had a baby so put a delay in things. I removed both stacks and put the ball valves on the bottom. Added a third 1" hole that is open all the time. I started a fire in the chimney and let it get going and dumped on top of fire basket and let it get going without dumping any more charcoal on top. Let it go for 15 minutes and it started up good. Was running 275 wide open closed them back and got it to 225 running good. So seems to fixed most the issues.
Thanks guys
Travis
