I'd be fairly concerned if there is smoke coming from the terminals, it takes a lot of current to get things that hot. I'd be checking for short circuits in the starter motor.

A loose battery terminal will ark and get hot and easily melt. When is the most current drawn from a battery?
The hot spot will start at the problem location.

Maybe your engine is seized. The heat is building up and causing the cables to smoke.
