I’ve burned on my last pit for 12 years and never cleaned the stack as there was no need to. As far as the interior of the cook chamber, I run a light wire brush on it as needed (maybe once a year) if the creosote layer starts to flake and fall.

You can just move what you have now straight up as high as possible and weld a patch over the hole. It may not help your issues at all but it's pretty quick and easy to give it a try and see what happens.
