      Be sure and get ACTIVATED charcoal. It will absorb the smell. Only other option is to sell it or burn it to the ground.

        Good suggestions on here. You are on the right track. Carpet has to go. Make sure you get rid of any mattresses too.

Paint the walls and ceiling if necessary. Use kilz 1st, the shellac based one not the water based sealer. Coffee grounds set out on plates will help to absorb odors and smells good IMO.
          This, (not sure about coffee) plus ozone, and then maybe bag or charcoal or similar.
          Bought a house years ago from a BAD smoker (walls were stained), pulled up carpet, cleaned ducts and vents, cleaned cabinets, threw away drapes and blinds, removed wall paper border, did kilz on walls and ceiling. worked great, did not know about ozone at the time.

            Ozone, cotton balls soaked in vanilla, charcoal, newspaper, kitty litter, vinegar, baking soda are all your friend. Clean the vents with vinegar and then vanilla.
