Did you actually mean smoulder or smeltery?

Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Smouldering, Smouldry

    This word seems a participle; but I know not whether the verb smoulder be in use: Burning and smoking without vent.

    Etymology: smoran , Saxon, to smother; smoel, Dutch, hot.

    None can breathe, nor see, nor hear at will,
    Through smouldry cloud of duskish stinking smoke,
    That th’ only breath him daunts who hath escap’d the stroke. Fairy Queen.

    In some close pent room it crept along,
    And, smould’ring as it went, in silence fed;
    ’Till th’ infant monster, with devouring strong,
    Walk’d boldly upright with exalted head. Dryden.
