If you roll up a newspaper and light the end of it, then hold that up the flue, it will heat up the flue. Apparently this stops (or at least reduces) the amount of smoke coming from the fire.

Less smoke, less visibility, more avoid-ability/concealment.
A cold air column in the flue can lead to smoke coming into the room when you first light a fire. Pre-warming the flue as you suggest can reduce this. I don't know if it would have any effect on the smoke from the ongoing fire though.
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.
