    Get an ozone generator.
    Put the stock and the generator in a closet.
    Turn on the generator and leave the for 24 hrs.

    Sherpa is incorrect.
    How does a wooden stock rust?

    The old, and maybe cheaper way to take smoke smell out is to take the action out of the stock, as has been mentioned, then wrap the stock in a clean towel with fresh ground coffee. Leave them wraped in a warm room, or out in the warm sun for a day or two, unwrap and throw the coffee away. Use about 1 pound for a stock, you can reuse the coffee on other stocks.

    If it's cigarette smoke, rub with Hoppes's #9.

    Sorry; I did not read the house fire part: my bad.
    Alcohol was involved.

    Destock and put in a damp towel sprinkle heavy with baking soda maybe a light spray of water and ammonia (1 teaspoon ammonia to 1 quart water).

    depending on what the "smoke smell" is, i bought 9 rifles and shotguns from a friend whose father died in a house fire, he wanted no part of them so i got them pretty cheap, would you believe $150.00 ? this happened in 1976, the Winchester M-97s, Win. M-94 rifle take down, a Win. M-24 bouble barrel, Browning shot gun, don't recall the model, a Remington M-241 .22LR, forearms were nearly burned off the stocks were OK, in fact all the guns with a forearm were burned to the point of replacement, all the stocks were OK, the smell/odor to me was a pleasing smell, kinda like a "Virginia Smoked Ham", i just repaired them and after a year or two the odor just left on it's own. two of the shotguns had severe forward barrel damage so i shortened them to 20", sold them all but the Rem. 241.., made pile of cash from them, i wish now i had kept the Win. M-94 rifle take down.

    I have removed odors using carpet cleaner granules and an old zipper gun case. Store the wood in the case with the granules and zip it up for a month.
