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.

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.
Smoke moves in the chimney due to the difference in temperature and pressure between the inside and outside of the chimney. As hot air rises, it creates a draft that draws the smoke up and out of the chimney. The design of the chimney, including its height and width, can also impact how efficiently the smoke is expelled.
Smoke rises up a chimney partly due to the principle of convection. As the air inside the chimney heats up from the fire below, it becomes less dense and rises, creating a flow of warm air that draws the smoke up and out of the chimney.
Open the flue wider - need to create a vacuum draft that sucks the smoke up the chimney and outdoors.
