It's a miller 211 it runs on 110 and 220 it's well worth the $$$ because you can run on either and will weld more than I need!!

Sorry I haven't been back sooner. In answer to your questions:
1) 6" stack will be fine, just don't go too long, you don't want too much draft, that will cause your fire to burn too hot, and your tank will get too hot to cook low and slow. It will also pull lots of air into the firebox, causing your wood to burn faster, meaning you'll need more wood to do the same cook and you'll have to pay closer attention to your firebox fuel load.
2) I wouldn't worry about the damper too much, you're going to have heat and smoke coming through that vent one way or another. You're always going to have a hot spot closest to the fire box unless you put in tuning plates, and I don't see that in your design. Could be added pretty easy probably, it just doesn't look like you have them designed in.
One thing I saw that I think you need to consider is weight distribution on that trailer. You want 60% of the total weight in front of the axel for proper distribution. I understand you'll probably have a wood rack on the front, but what happens when you tow it to a cook, burn up all your wood, and then have to drag it back unbalanced. And improperly balanced trailer will steer your truck more than the truck steers the trailer.

Thanks for the info man I really do appreciate it. I am going to make the plates next weekend to tune it. I also took the pic before we balanced it and the shackles are just tacked on not on the proper spot. In your 1st post were you saying that the stack needs to be inset into the tank some? Sorry I guess I can't picture what you are saying there. Thanks again man!
