Yep. Home Depot carries stove pipe & chimney toppers that will work.
Get a 3' or longer pipe section (the stainless steel double-walled one
will last years & years) and a chimney top that fits on top. The
chimney top will provide a spark arrestor function.

3 is better as it will draw more. In fact if you can get it a foot
taller than the roof will be (within 2 feet) that's best. (The "within
2 feet means you measure out 2' from the chimney location and mark the
highest part of the roof you hit. Make the chimney at least 1' taller
than that -- it helps provide room for the draft to exit the chimney.
So in the case of mine where I've got a steeply pitched A-frame roof,
it really only had to just come out the roofing but it actually sticks
up about 10".)

Good size. I've got a 9x12 rectangular one that draws like a champ.
Any smaller than 8" may not draw quite as well so you'd want to have
more of a baffle in front of it to force the smoke up the chimney
(which will lower the front door).

> has anyone some piece of advise? what i should avoid?

Avoid the plain galvanized pipe sections. They'll outgas some nasty
stuff because this will get *hot*. They will also corrode over time
with the effect of the acidic smoke & burning galvanization...probably
only last a couple/three years. The single-wall black chimney pipe is
better (next best to clay flue liners & stainless steel double-wall).
