    Sounds like you did not get a good draft going in the chiminey or there was a lot of wind outside that caused a down draft. You can buy room/house deordorizers at the hardware store. Don't buy the ones that just spray perfume, get one that absorbs odors. Ventilate the house by opening windows and doors on all floors. This is going to take time.
