i'll start out with the obvious, the belt smokes when it is slipping. the belt could have been wet, have bad deflection, been previously glazed over or just in bad shape altogether.
one way to avoid smoking your belt under normal driving circumstances is to try pressure the primary's sheaves a little quicker by accelerating a touch faster than you normally would.
depending on how bad you smoked it your belt could be junk but i've gotten away with lightly scuffing mine with an sos pad.
