Hot air rises, just as cold air lays low (sinks) to the ground. When a fire ensues, smoke (the product of carbon combustion) rises with the hot air.
Chimney design is what keeps smoke from just going anywhere around a fireplace. A chimney uses the principles of rising hot air and acts as funnel. A chimney's flue (the device which controls the amount of air drawn up the chimney) affects the funnel effect dramatically. As hot air rises up the chimney, the fire consumes more oxygen in the room where the fireplace is, creating a vacuum effect, which in turn feeds the flame with even more oxygen faster. It is the combination hot air rising and subsequent vacuum effect in the room below which ensures that smoke from a fireplace fire will go up a chimney. ithout the control of the chimney flue, this effect could quickly lead to a fireplace fire getting too hot for the fireplace to handle.
This effect can also be extremely dangerous in a house fire or a building fire in which there are drop ceilings. Some natural building areas, such as stairwells, act as natural chimneys. In office buildings with drop ceilings, it is against fire codes to have any drop ceiling tiles removed, as this can cause a chimney effect if a fire were to break out. Remember since a chimney effect leads to oxygen been fed to a fire at faster rates, the fire can quickly accelerate and consume an area.

The smoke particles from a fire are carried up by hot air. Hot air has the tendency to rise because it has less density than normal air.

Smoke
The preposition in the sentence "Smoke went up the chimney" is "up." It shows the direction of the smoke's movement.
umbrella
It is the accumulation of ash and smoke residue that builds up on the inside of a chimney after use.
A chimney will suck air from the house only if there is wind above the chimney. Air movement at the top causes a partial vacuum in the chimney which pulls the smoke up. The smoke could get into the house due to several reasons: there is no wind above the chimney; the chimney is blocked, the smoke is being directed away from the chimney due to other areas of low pressure in the house. You could probably rectify the problem by raising the chimney so that it catches more wind, cooking closer to the chimney inlet, making chimney diameter wider so that there is less resistance to the passage of smoke.

chimney must be to smoke
The preposition in the sentence "Black smoke rose up the chimney" is "up." This preposition indicates the direction in which the smoke is moving.

An umbrella could.... but would? doubtful!
Hot air always rises. Therefore, when a fire is started in a fire place, the hot air from the fire rises, causing the smoke to rise also.
