additional/even air intake. i figured just a 1" valve was not enough.

I think you a little short on air intake. If you go back and read how to build a UDS, you will see that the plan was for 3 1" holes a couple of inches off the bottom. Then install 3 3/4" threaded nipples into these holes. Cap off 2 of them and use your 1" valve on the third. Remember what all these guys say about changing the proven UDS plan on your first build, kiss.

I still can't figure out what I need three for. I usually only have to use my ball valve to control temps. Only time I use the other two is to get the initial temp up.

Yep, had to run mine with two caps off for last weeks cook. 6 butts. Used a different charcoal than usual but it was supposed to burn hotter. I hadn't used both full racks at once before. If I add a third rack, I think i'll have to add a fourth intake. Need more than the three I have also when I convert to a grill.

What effect does all that extra meat have on the combustion?
That is a LOT of fat dripping down onto the fire. Also, 42.5 # of meat is a lot of thermal mass to heat up. I noticed with two full racks that my UDS behaved differently than with just one rack half full. I used a new brand of charcoal so I don't know what the problem was. I know better. Only do one thing different each time so you know if it had any effect. Anyway, do you guys get a longer burn time with less meat? Is it easier to maintain temp one way or the other?

I'm not rocket scientist but...
Well more mass is going to take more energy to raise the temp. All things being equal if all the settings stayed the same from a lesser weight of meat cook to a higher weight of meat to cook the difference would be time. Meaning more fuel consumed over that time variant. I dunno I stayed at a holiday inn once. Quote:
