I had the same thought re the smoke, some residue from the rebuild burning off.
You wanna be careful there.
Brake cleaner works so well people use it for all manner of general purpose stuff.
Problem with it is if it heats up to the point where it's smoking what you've now got is Phosgene.
Phosgene is WWl era chemical warfare ****.
You don't want to breath that in so until you know what you are dealing with take precautions.
