if ur battery isn't bad and it has charge, it might be the starter/ starter solenoid.

sounds like you have a hot wire grounding out...

try checking the grounds from the engine to the chassis if your ebrake is smoking its probably using the parking brake as a ground, if there isnt a chassis ground make sure to go pick one up, if there IS one make sure its clean tight and attached to bare metal. let me know if that works!
