Title: Any idea what a Happy Cooker ash pan is worth?
Post by: PotsieWeber on July 26, 2018, 08:20:30 AM
There is a salvation army with a Happy Cooker that they are using.  From afar, I thought it might have been an 18" but it turned out to be 22 when I got close up.  It has wooden handles (which I haven't seen before) that say Happy Cooker on it.  It's just black, but in great shape.  I've talked to the manager & she'd trade it for an old weber PLUS some cash.

I already have a 22" ash pan, so I'm not that keen on a trade where I'm also parting with a bit of cash. 


Any thoughts?

Depending on condition, the 22" pans seem to range from $15-$45 in the WKC.

Thanks.  It looked to be in great shape when I looked & I'm trying to justify the swap because, even though just black, the wood handles & little differences on this HC might be interesting to own for a while.  Now, I have to figure out which old black Weber I like the least.

Just buy a common 22" in good shape from FB or CL for cheap. Then trade that one.

I have a HC to sell. Ash pan intact. Not sure if you ever make it to Michigan.
If you are interested let me know.

What I'd like to know  is what the tooling would costs to reproduce them would be.  Both in 22 and 18 fits.
Gotta be a market out there for those.  Maybe Adrenaline might be able to shed some light.

The old black ones I already have too many of, I've picked up for dirt cheap around here.

It is the Salvation Army so consider asking for a receipt for the cash and take it off on your taxes.  SA is a worthy organization
