When you burn wood in your fireplace, smoke might enter your house due to several reasons:

The damper isn’t open: The damper controls the flow of air and smoke through the chimney. If it’s closed, smoke can’t escape and will come back into the house.

Burning the wrong type of wood: Some types of wood produce more smoke than others. Also, wet or unseasoned wood can cause excessive smoke.

The fireplace has not been used in a while: If a fireplace hasn’t been used for a long time, there could be blockages in the chimney that prevent smoke from escaping.

Fire is too big: A fire that’s too large can produce more smoke than the chimney can handle, causing some of it to spill back into the room.

Flue blockage: Birds’ nests, leaves, or other debris can block the flue, preventing smoke from exiting.

Cracked chimney or gaps in your chimney flue: These can allow smoke to leak into your home.

Backdraft problem due to multiple flues: If you have multiple fireplaces and they share a chimney, using one fireplace could cause a backdraft in another, bringing smoke into the house.

Your house is too airtight: Modern homes are often very well insulated and airtight, which can prevent the necessary airflow for the smoke to draw up the chimney.

It’s important to identify and address these issues to ensure the smoke properly vents outside and doesn’t enter your living space. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult with a professional.
