does this only happen at home? If it does then get down to the level where you lay your head and look around the area or the room and find something that may have been burnt before or may have a burnt smell in the wood like a nightstand or dresser or the room you're sleeping in might have had a fire one time or something on a low level and when you stand up you don't smell it cuz its not at that level. oh also if you're laying in the proximity of your kitchen stove there's a good chance that something burnt inside there one time and you might be smelling that.

post a pic. Is this the right section?
For a wood dresser - check the runners on the sides (pull drawer all the way out. Humidity really affects the wood. Try a little dry bar soap and rub on the rails (it will help lubricate)

Most auto parts dealers have all kinds/shapes of socket type screwdrivers.

If it is wood, sand it down and paint a laquer on it.

hopefully they will be able to help you out with your specific questions.

The chimney needs to be 3 feet taller than the highest point of the house . If you are running the clothes dryer, bathroom vent fan, or exaust hood in kitchen it makes a vacum in the house that can draw smoke into the house down the chimmney . I think when you burn wood or coal in a house it is pretty hard not to be able to smell it. Our house and clothes do not smell like smoke any more since we stopped burning wood.

Try spraying a little water near the feet and apply heat from a blow dryer. Not too much don't want to melt anything.
