That looks fantastic and I know it has taken a lot of effort.  Just a thought on flipping the burger.  Maybe you could purchase one peel and borrow a peel from your pizza friend.  Slip one on the bottom and one on the top one time to flip.  You could also keep warm if you had one of those containers they use to bring hot foods to deliver pizzas etc.

Thanks for the comments! As you suggested, I now have a 22x22x8 pizza warming bag and a peel in my Amazon shopping cart. It wasn't easy to see in the video, but we ended up flipping the top pizza with a peel in an unfolded pizza box. This gave us a lot of control and it worked well. I feel good about how the assembly will come together.

I will probably have twice the people to serve, so I will need to do two burgers. This time the goal is to do a takeoff on a Big Mac, with a few extra goodies. I will cook the burgers in my grill at home, where I know there will be plenty of room. I can transport the burgers in the pizza warming bag and the temp should hold. 

I don't know exactly which toppings to use, but I am starting to kick around a few ideas. There is around 5 lbs of bacon in my freezer that is leftover from the bacon taco shells. That seems like a no brainer to use. I am also going to try and melt down some bricks of cheese, to see if I can create two huge cheese slices for each burger. For the buns/pizza toppings, I am thinking pickles and onion for the bottom bun, and maybe pepperoni for the top. Throw in a little lettuce and spacial sauce and we should be in business.

I'm in a wide range of online forums.  BBQ, Star Wars, Fantasy Books, Toyota Tacoma.

I recently joined a 45+ Tacoma facebook group.  I suppose I'm now on board with the generational bashing.  The other Toyota groups I'm on are largely a mess.  The 45+ one is very much like pelletfan.  Positive and respectful.

You should look at the 3D printing forums...they are great at bashing people that are trying to learn.    I completely agree that this is a great forum where you can ask questions and people are willing to share.

That looks great. Now you just need a smaller pan and a peel.

Can't go smaller, I just need to figure out a better way to go bigger!  My grill will hold the burger just fine. I was hoping to avoid transportation issues. It is a little over an hour travel time to the party. I think I can work that out.

Here are a few more pictures

We completed the trial run yesterday. Things did not go according to plan. As much as I wanted to use the smoker for the burger, logistically I thought it would be easier to do it on-sight in the oven. There was just one problem. When I checked to see if the pan would fit in the oven, I didn't slide it in all the way. When I saw the width was good, I assumed the rest of the pan would fit. I was wrong, the oven door would not close. I was not there when the error of my ways was discovered.  Fortunately, my wife was able to call the pizza place and they were willing to cook the burger for us. This really saved the day.

I learned a lot, but there were still some unanswered questions. The biggest one is how long will it take to cook in an oven or a smoker, rather than a 550° pizza oven. Also, I realized all my elaborate plans on how to flip the burger and buns went out the windows. Using a peel at the pizza place made life much easier.

With someone else cooking the burger, I had no control of the cooking time. The restaurant got slammed with a brunch crowd before I got there, so I have no complaints. I was very grateful for their help. It was a little over cooked for my liking,  but not bad. It was very juicy. There were some pieces with a little pink in the middle. Nobody complained. It tasted great.  I really liked the seasoning salt we used. The local grocery store is known for their various rubs and spice blends. They did not disappoint.

All in all it was a good day. I was able to get 36 servings from the burger, which weighed 18.2 pounds fully assembled. I think we had 32 people, so it worked out well.

Here is a video of the assembly. More pictures to follow.
