Pan smoking

Ok, I don’t even short order cook very often so this is a pretty basic question.
I was making a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches.
First, whoever suggested using mayonnaise on the exterior portion of the bread was brilliant. They were delicious.
Second, and the actual question. How do you keep the pan from smoking over longer cook times. Seems like this comes up consistently whenever I’m making multiple things.
Like today the first sandwich went fine. Cooked at low mid heat. The second sandwich by the time it started, the pan was already smoking. Adding butter just boils the butter. I tried going back down to low heat to build it back up again but no matter what i tried, the trying to add more lube didn’t help. So in the end I just accepted the bread would be burnt. It still tasted fine.
Not sure what I should be doing differently

Yes, the pan was on. It was maybe 15 seconds. The pan may have already started very lightly smoking by the time the first sandwich was done.

Gas or electric stove?

you have to remove all the old butter, otherwise it'll always smoke cause its already broken down. discard, wipe with paper towels, add new butter.

You don't "have to" remove all the old butter although that is the reason for the smoke. However, it's not the cause of the pan being too hot.
The pan needs to be removed from heat between sandwiches because it is overheating.

When I use mayo on the exterior, I don't use butter at all. Comes out nice and crispy. I thought the mayo was in place of the butter. Am I doing it wrong?

Clean the pan between cooks and take it off the heat.

Friend, turn the stove down or off.
Hope this helps.
