Brad, there are 3 kinds of smoke, well 4 actually.
1. White/can be from a cold morning, which is normal.
2. White again/ if lots of white smoke, this indicates a blown head gasket.
3. Black/engine running too rich. The black is soot, and unburned gas.
4. Blue/oil getting past the rings or valve guides.
Yours may have just been a little carbon burning off, or still the muffler.
It's normal for an engine to let a little get by, but if lots of blue is getting by, then that would indicate a problem as in #4 above.
Also the condensation coming out is normal. When I fire mine up, even for the first time on a hot summer day, it spits water out for a bit, and a little white smoke.
That's the water heating up that is in the pipes.
