2023 Smoke Show Information

This event is being put on by IMPACT MONTANA, and the Missouri River Brewing Co. All of the proceeds and 20-40% of all vendor sales will go to IMPACT MONTANA to support its programming.

This is the first annual KCBS-sanctioned BBQ event in the greater Helena area, and we look forward to seeing you there for the music, beer, and BBQ!

This competition is a sanctioned "Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) Event," and it is a "Master Series" event where chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork Butt, and Brisket will be judged with cash prizes up to $1,500. Hosted by "Missouri River Brewing Co" in East Helena, MT and proceeds will go to Impact Montana Nonprofit to support service members, veterans, first responders, and their families to thrive!

Impact Montana was founded in 2014 to advance the network and support of Service Members, Veterans, First Responders, and their Families throughout Montana. Impact Montana was established to subsidize existing support with new modalities and innovative support methods for the success of life after and during service. The "Thrive Factors" of Impact Montana have been developed based on military service and professional work experience. Working through the scope of these factors allows participants the opportunities to build individually and as a family or peer group. Impact Montana believes that a solid peer-to-peer support network and a more knowledgeable community can address these existing challenges. No single organization can take on the sole responsibility of support. Together we are Warrior Strong~Montana Strong!
