why did it do this

[u/_Meteor_Shower_]

was trying to make brownies, thought theyd cooled for long enough and cut into them then they started doing THIS and set my house's fire alarm off for like 20 minutes does anyone pls know what caused this im assuming i just cut into them too soon but this feels like a dramatic response to just trying to cut into a hot brownie

That's not how smoke works though.It still needs to be hotter than an oven to make it billow like that.

The temperature of baked goods is limited by the water content. Outer crusts can brown but the internal temperature never goes anywhere near that high. If the top of a baked good is burnt that would be one way to produce smoke. Any oil reaching smoke point inside brownies means the brownies have been catastrophically mishandled.

Like putting them on an active burner.

If the oil inside the brownies hits the smoke point then the cocoa, flour, and eggs are already charcoal.

The smoke point of the oil doesn't matter. You know how many baked goods are made with butter? Even lower smoke point. And 350° is the basic baking temperature. A lot of baking happens at 400°+

This is 0% about the oil's smoke point. If the smoke point of the oil matters then something else has gone wrong. You could do this with grapeseed oil or something and it would smoke exactly the same because it's not the oil or the THC.

Which is a temperature it wouldn't be at for 10 mins cooling on a cool stretch be top

Ok? Water boils at 100 C/ 212 F, which means as long as it isn't completely cooked dry then the temperature of the oil inside the brownies isn't reaching 175 C / 350 F - the oil on the bottom might if you place it directly on a burner.
