In Zork, there aren't really levels as such.  You seem to get to lower
areas, but they aren't like rogue levels (level 1,2,3,etc.).  solving
puzzles can get you into new 'wings' of the dungeon.  
Getting up the chimney from the Studio isn't really all that important.
But if you would like to do it, bear in mind that it's not so much what
you need as what you don't need to get up.  As I remember, other than
taking the treasures, there aren't any really important things to be done
in the Torch Room or Egyptian Tomb, but there is something interesting to
be done at the Temple, but it won't be easy to figure it out.  You're
best bet would be to go next door to the Altar and do something there.
