The usual cause of smoke coming out of drum is that the heater element has come on or stayed on with no water in the drum
Try it on a spin cycle only, if smoke still comes out of drum, then could be a faulty pump, or main motor is burning.

I have a burning smell coming from my LG front load washer. I googled it,it says it's the bearings. Which would be easier? Buying a different drum with bearings already pressed in or doing my own?

Holly, always easier to buy an assembly, but probably a lot more expensive. If you can remove bearing and take to a industrial supplier and get matching bearing, the cost would be a fraction of that of a new drum assy. If you or a friend can do it, go for it.
You may want to get a second opinion on what you are smelling, it very well could be the drum rubbing gasket if it is a burning rubber smell.Maybe call a good appliance Tech. have them diagnose and estimate repair. Check LG washer bearing link below.

Why is my Samsung washer smoking during the spill cycle?

My Samsung washer has the same problem. Looking at it the gasket is being shredded by the drum and the rubber is burning. If it smells like burning rubber that is probably it. I do not know what caused this but I am going to just replace the gasket and see what happens
