How do I get rid of a smell that seems to have penetrated the drywall?

Question

Charcoal is a great odor absorbing material. If you buy it at the store, make sure you get the kind that doesn't have lighter fluid in them. Lay flat on newspaper.

I took the easy way out and bought these. They have done an amazing job on some nasty smells in a car we inherited.
