if it's smoking the HG is blown. The thermostat might have gotten stuck from the first overheat. Personally, I would have had the whole cooling system replaced-or at least the 3 plastic parts, the rear piece, the side piece, and the thermostat.

Oh, and the thermostat is a regulator valve on the motor, the temperature gauge is what you look at in the dash that shows the temperature.
