Why does my cast iron pan smoke?

I have love for the iron skillet but I don't use it a ton, however doing jambalaya in an iron dutch oven was what won my heart...the way it coooks the meats in a jambalaya is beautiful to be watched the iron love on meats cajun style is second to none and those who do jambalaya know it's a sin without iron....try it out and thank me.
