That "white stuff" you see is NOT necessarily "smoke"! What you see that is white is actually the steam VAPOR, and is generally visible ONLY when the outside temperature & humidity is cool enough so that the condensed VAPOR is visible. Once the outside temperature is high enough, i.e. HOT & DRY, then the exhausted steam is no longer visible, and any actual smoke from the fire is then visible as various shades of gray/black, or a light haze.
