The outside wall of my utility room was on fire last week and stunk up the inside of the utility room.
Any one have any tips on how to reduce the nasty burnt smell?

Ozone generator may work. Used to sell them and they did a great job with cigarette smoke.

I used a product called X-O neutralizer to deodorize coils, ducts, and fabrics of all kinds of odors, including smoke.

paint, killz

Thanks for the help, that X-O neutralizer sounds like what I need.
The inside of the utility room will be painted with Killz once the repairs are completed. With all of the tornado damage in the county it will probably be a while before I can find a contractor of any kind.

X2 on the Killz primer and paint. My brother had a rent house the tenants caught on fire and that sure helped it.

Good thing about X-O is it's water-based, concentrated, and works well. Easy to dilute in whatever strength you need for various jobs. Citrus derived, so if you don't mind orange aroma you're good to go. Bad thing is it's pricey.

Speaking of Killz which version is for covering up smoke smell in a utility room?
Home Depot has several versions of Killz and the guy at the paint counter does not have a clue.

Walrus is right as the latex won't do it. Most of the paint counter paint mixers know how to push buttons to mix paint but I don't ask them for advice.

Just saw a new to me method to remove smoke smell. On This Old House, same problem,smoke. Contractor cleared it by blasting the surfaces with dry ice pellets. Pellets evaporate in seconds, smoke and soot turn into dust. Just like sandblasting without the mess. Probably not cheap, but sure looked effective.

I saw where tried the dry ice blasting trying to get the old paint off of the inside of a WWII bomber and it was very slow but didn't harm the aluminum. It was very expensive though and paint is cheaper.
