Here is the newest edition of the fleet. A Kenmore Happy Cooker! Picked it up for a small sum about 25 minutes away. Still has the internal ash pan in near mint condition.

Grate score!!!  It looks to be in phenomenal shape.  Doesn't appear to have any rust on the legs and triangle.  Plus it still has the IAC and hinge

I have 35(ish) HCs, and have yet to find a Sears/Kenmore version.  I do have a couple Sears/Kenmore kettles made by Char-Broil though:

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn't?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I've amassed a nice collection, but I'm missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Thank you Gringo! I love the uniqueness of them. They are different but cook the exact same.

Love the colors! I had no idea Char-broil also made kettles for Sears.

Put the Happy Cooker to work immediately. Quick scrap off of left over charcoal goop and threw my weekly chicken on it.
