Exhaust for warmer conversion

Hello people!! I have a gutted electric warmer my dad got for me and said I could have it if I wanted. I got pretty much everything figured out except for exhaust size. How does one go about sizing one up? I guess the pit calculators are mainly for horizontal smokers not verticals. Here's a pic of what I got.

Since verticals are themselves a stack and you're going to want a flu damper anyway - I would just put a short peice of 4" pipe on for a stack and a good stack cutoff plate to control the opening completely down to zero - you should be good.

Thanks! This will defiantly hold more than my UDS does.

Here's the firebox I made to slide into the bottom. The size is 18 x 30 x 17. The top of the box (not shown) has a 7 x 7 opening with a diverted plate 3" above the opening. I was thinking 2" for an intake. Does that sound about right?

Are you going to put a basket in it and work it like an UDS or ????

Planning on a basket about three inches above bottom made from expanded metal. Mainly burn charcoal and wood chunks.
