Downdraft

    Hi folks, i recently moved into a new house with my GF. The house has not been lived in for a while, last night i lit the fire for the first time. There are two open fires in the house, the kitchen and sitting room, and they are back to back. Both of them were smoking back down into both rooms last night, but the kitchen was filling up with smoke a lot more.
    I have a feeling it is a downdraft but a few sites i visited said that if the smoke is not coming down constantly it is not a down draft, but that one chimney has a stringer pull than the other and is pulling the smoke down into it.
    Should i just get a chimney cap or should i get two chimney cowls for each fire and see how that goes?
