"300 lbs of burger is sandwiched between 2 stainless steel cooking grids and lifted with the aid of a specially design gear mechanism and hydraulic hoist," says David Coulson, National Advertising Manager for Napoleon® Grills, "We have spent weeks with our engineering department to develop a monster grilling machine of epic proportions! This massive burger grill will be able to control the heat and successfully flip this world record burger!"

Ted Reader, Canadian BBQ chef & food entertainer will be the "Chef in Charge" of cooking this crazy feast.
