    This was a topic discussion at a museum conference session that I
    attended several years ago.Smoke removal can be very challenging. 

    A couple low-cost, but effective, approaches emerged from the
    session: 

    1) Try putting the smoke-impregnated objects in a sealed container
    (ie..Tupperware tub) with kitty litter. The clay-based product will
    absorb a lot of odor. You can rig up a tray or something on "legs"
    so you don't have to sift the findings/beads out and allow for
    circlulation. 

    2) An even more effective, but a little more expensive, approach
    would to substitute the kitty litter with activated charcoal. They
    sell it for fish tank filters in small quantities at your local
    store or if you need it in larger quantities someone suggested
    visiting your local water treatment plant (or supplier). 

Good Luck,
