Hi! New here & will probably sound ridiculous but have a question so here goes 
. Thanks so much for any helpful info!
We have a double sided, masonry, FP with gas logs. One side of the FP (the room I should say) smells when we have it on. It smells like... well... sort of like when you grill w/charcoal. It gives me a headache. I have the glass doors open on that side (which is our home office) and the other side is wide open & has no doors, which faces our eat-in kitchen.
What’s weird is our last home had the exact same smell/issue. We had a 2 story, double sided masonry FP & it smelled in the kitchen but not in the FR (the FP was between those 2 rooms).
What say you? Why does one side only smell? I also try cracking a window in the room on the side that smells but it doesn’t completely eliminate the smell. Plus it’s cold here in Chicago & it sort of defeats the purpose to open a window. My husband says it’s fine but my mom gut says something is not right . Thanks for any help!
