If it doesn't pull or drift toward that side it isn't a seized caliper. You probably have an oil leak or something instead. Who would have thought, a Jeep that leaks!!!!

if the rim wasnt hot and it wasnt pulling, then its defnately not the caliper. and if it was an oil leak i cant see it only smoking from the right side.did you recently change, or bleed your brakes? like maybe dripped brake fluid on the pads, or rotor? and brand new pads will do that to for the first few miles

I like how everyone has brakes on their minds when he made no mention whatsoever of the brakes, just smoke. My valve cover leaks and it smokes out the wheel wells sometimes

bicker bicker.
I have no clue about the OPs problem. one of my jeeps leaks oil from just about every seal and i get smoke coming from everywhere. its weird that it would only come from one area.
