What type boiler? Sounds like electric? If so and you fire up the heating elements without enough water covering up the heating elements you will burn out the elements."White smoke" instead of steam sounds like that happened and will requir new heating elements.There are several types & styles of boilers so hard to tell you withour guessing.To be sure I suggest calling or going into a plumber shop and ask them. If you just call them they may want to come,check it out and chg service call if they fix it or not. A good one will answer you to gain a future customer.
