Default Smoker air intake and exhaust sizes.

I am working on a cabinet smoker, and I am confused about the intake and exhaust requirements. My smoker is 24 X 36X 52 inside 44928 cubic inches give or take. Is there some formula that I can use to figure air flow requirements? I want to put a charcoal maze inside it if I can so I dont need an external fire box. Does the smoke need to flow through fast enough to not get stale? I tried to use the calculator but it is for external fire boxes and I don't think it will work for my application. If I have to, I have a small boxwood stove that I can use for a firebox if this doesn't work and I end up making it a stick burner. I really appreciate any help.
