We had the same thing happen to us after we moved into a new (to us) house and had the furnace cleaned. Just liked you described the house filled with smoke and I had my wife and two small kids vacate the till I could clear out the smoke. The furnace company was still there at the time and they cut open the furnace and pulled out a small rubber ball and (get this) a dead gerbil which the previous owners had lost at some point. We cleared out the smoke and after a day or two there was no lingering smell at all. Hopefully you'll find it goes away on it's own. I'm glad to hear you were home at the time cause your right, it could have been a BIG problem if you weren't there to deal with it immediately.
