    Smoke escaping into bedroom

    Hi, when I light my log burner, I end up with the bedroom above filling with smoke(The bedroom has an unused original fireplace in in it). The landlord says he’s had it checked and there’s nothing wrong with the chimney. I feel like I’m being fobbed off and could do with some advise as to what the problem could be so I can go back to him with it. Can anybody help? Thanks
