Saluting With Smoke offers a unique and patriotic barbeque experience for the community.
Join us for a weekend of BBQ competitions, live bands, food & craft vendors, beer tents, kids activities, and more, as we support our Veteran community to raise money for the MZHH "BBQ Saves Lives" Program.
Friday night we kick off with live bands and a KCBS-sanctioned single meat rib contest with a prize purse of $1,000
Saturday hosts a KCBS-sanctioned Competitor Series BBQ competition. BBQ teams compete in four categories (Chicken, Ribs, Anything Goes - PORK, and the MRE challenge) Teams can compete on any type of cooker: Wood, Charcoal, Pellet, Electric, and Gas. Teams provide all supplies, except for MRE's, which are provided by MZHH.
Watch and support the MZHH Battle of the Branches Saturday, as 5 World Champion Pitmasters coach teams of Veterans representing each branch of service through a BBQ contest, without being able to touch anything! Donate to your favorite branch to help them gain a competitive advantage!
Sunday hosts the return of Honor-Q, a KCBS sanctioned Master Series competition where cooks compete in four categories (Chicken, Ribs, Pork, and Brisket). This event is a tribute to our Veterans but also to all of our First Responders, Police, Firefighters and EMTs.
Teams competing at any MZHH contest are required to have a Veteran on their team. If you don't have a Veteran or would like to host another Veteran, Mission Zero Hundred Hours will provide Veterans to join teams.
