The Blue Smoke

Barbeque Story

Blue Smoke was born in December of 2014 as a food truck in Bozeman. Justin Koller, a culinary-trained chef from Colorado, and Kevin Lousteneau, a die-hard BBQ lover from the heart of Texas, literally, cooked up the dream of bringing authentic, scratch-made barbeque to Southwest Montana.  The name comes from the tint of the smoke billowing from the smoker when the fire is just right…a science we labored to perfect. Using 100% wood smoke, Montana-sourced meats, and embracing the history and cooking techniques of central Texas, we create a truly unique culinary experience. 

During our decade in business, we have focused on delivering a level of food and service that we are proud of, whether it’s catering a customized private event or serving our dedicated locals in Three Forks. We believe that sourcing local ingredients is the most important part of our process, supporting Montana ranchers and farmers is what we do. 

In 2024, a handmade wood-fired pizza oven from Portugal is joining the Blue Smoke fleet for our seasonal private catered events. Chef Justin Koller is an expert in his field, is wonderful to work with, and has a professional staff that pays attention to detail. Together, Blue Smoke will make sure that your event is carefree, delicious, and talked about long after your guests go home.
