There is something wrong with leaving food in the oven on 'High' for 3 hours. Yes you could have started a fire!!!
First the items you left in the oven for that length of time and at that temperature were small things and would burn even if you left them for an hour. I have cooked lots of things in my oven for far longer than that and have not burned anything. A bread in the Dutch Oven at 475 for almost an hour. A Deep Dish Pizza at about the same temp for an hour.
The oven is fine. I have slow roasted items for 8 to 12 hours so it is not the fact that the oven was on for that length of time. The problem was the size of the item and the length of time you cooked it. Next time you put something in the oven set a timer. If you fall asleep at least the timer will wake you up.
Nothing wrong with the oven. You just left food in there until it got burned. How dumb are you that you cant figure out why your oven was smoking after leaving food in it for that long?
