My House is FILLED WITH SMOKE!!!

[Topless In Texas]

AARRRRGGGHGHGHHHHGHGH!!!!!
Well, I had the bright idea of wanting to use my fireplace while i'm unpacking the livingroom....It has a gas burner, but its too big for the fireplace and can be dangerous, so i bought some paper logs today.(cuz its *******' COLD!) yes, I do have heat now. But my house is an open concept with extrememely high cielings and the heat rises....so ANYWAYS.....
I called my ex to make sure it was safe and the gas logs wont explode or anything, and he said to make sure the damper was open...well i did. Dumped black crap all over me. Well, I lit the log and all this smoke started barrelling into my house!!!!! Again, with the high ceilings, theres as much smoke upstairs as down. I freaked out (naturally!) and called him back and he said it should quit after a while. Well, it kept getting smokey, and I started getting paranoid, so I dumped water on it and put it out!!!!!! TALK ABOUT SMOKIN' THEN!!!!!! LOOKED LIKE A BONFIRE BEEN PUT OUT IN MY LIVINGROOM!!!! So, now i have the windows open and trying to air the place out while i'm working....uggh!
Well, back to unpacking, just wanted to enlighten everyone a little on the conitinuing folley's of my new house!!!!
