I had an idea of splitting the hole with a piece of brass plate to make it come out evenly.
That sounds like a good idea, like a little piece of brass as a deflector to push some of the smoke up the back stack. Even when it's working correctly, it looks a little weird because the smoke shoots forward out the front stack. I still really like the model though of course.
