New Brakes?

The 73 classic brakes can smoke after the first landing on a new set.
Had this more than once.
Observant ATC would notice after landing and give enough info to not need to panic.
I'm led to believe it was a particular supplier and was told the solution was to 'bake' off residue from manufacture.
