Loran Green and Friends of Hi Line Promotions made a burger of pure Montana beef weighing 2.74 tonnes (6,040lbs) at the Sleeping Buffalo Resort at Saco, Montana on 5 September 1999. A crowd of more than 3,500 people gathered to watch the burger cook for about two hours on a specially made 576-square-foot grill. If sold, the burger would have cost $7,000 (£4,927).
