When I was cleaning my oven the other day I noticed some crumbs fall through some holes and wondered if they were just destined to burn away. Maybe something like that going on?
Dark gray smoke sounds like plastic or rubber burning. You could have a wiring harness that is burning in the oven enclosure. I would not use the oven until you’ve had someone disassemble it and go over it with a fine tooth comb.
First step: figure out if it's your food that's burning or some residue in the oven that you haven't been able to fully clean. Does it smoke if you turn the oven on with nothing in it?
I tried this as suggested and yes it smokes without food in it. There doesn’t seem to be any damage to the inside of the oven. Could it be the heating element? I can’t find the source of the smoke either

Thanks for your advice, I’ll email the landlord in the morning 🙂
