Your already marginal draft seems to have been further reduced with the addition of the unwanted damper--and especially the guesswork holes. If that section is a standard length of stovepipe, I'd replace it, and save the expense of a repairman.

Hopefully, your last repairman didn't install an ash screen at the top!
