Do you have the big grommet on the passenger side that seals the engine wiring harness into the firewall?

Sounds like something is leaking onto the exhaust manifold - a bit of oil from leaky valve covers, perhaps - and burning off when you start the car. Some of it could get sucked in through either the air intake for the heater, or through this grommet if it's all mucked up or missing.
