With my Smoked Porter I added 4 pounds of wheat malt re-smoked with peat wood. I tasted it after 6 weeks in the secondary and there is just WAAAAYYY too much intense smokiness to it. I was wondering what I might want to add to the secondary to either tone it done or distract from the intense smokiness.
 
You might need to brew another porter without any smoke and blend the beers after both have fermented. Peat smoked malts have an intense flavor, as you've discovered, and I don't think there's much you can do to tone it down via the secondary.
 
I let the beer sit in the secondary for many many months in hopes that it would tone down.... it didn't. So I did a blend with another porter that I did and now it is quite delicious. Good advice sir
