    Additional Details

    I have a fireplace in the living room and a wood stove in my basement. They both use there own flue and are right next to each othe and are bricked together as on. On the outside I have only 1 access door for the soot after sweeping which is on the side of the wood stove. I recently bought the house and at the home inspection he said everything looked good and was clean. When I run the fireplace upstairs I smell smoke in the basement but do not see smoke. I have the damper closed. Its not strong but its there. I was wondering since there is only one access hole outside maybe both chimneys share it and there is alittle cross over for the soot to get over to the access hole and when I run the fireplace the smells is lingering down stairs.
