Check the heat shield above the catalytic converter, it probably is rusted out and the heat from the cat radiates above through the floorboard. From what I have experienced, there was some fiberglass insulation between the ventilation vent tube and the interior floorboard (don't know if this is OEM or aftermarket by a previous owner), there was also some plastic covering the insulation...it was this plastic that was charred and was smoking (incidentally after idling while I was trying to open my garage that was not wanting to open...). Take care of this problem ASAP because from what I have read on this board your whole car's wiring harness could get toasted! The harness runs directly over this area.
