Happy Cooker Data Request
« on: June 13, 2015, 09:51:03 AM »
Happy Cooker had around 30 models and variances in the short time the company produced grills. I believe I have put together enough information to identify each model  and hopefully narrow down a date range for some of the models . With special thanks to @ Troy and with the help of the WKC I'm asking for any Interested Happy Cooker owners to post a photo or any other information they may have to help us build a data base and possibly launch a sub forum. What I am trying to do is make sure I have all variances accounted for before I release the results . I will then compile the information and release model and description information along with photo for each known style .
If anyone has or has had a NIB happy Cooker those model numbers would be quite helpful to keep things as accurate as possible .

I thank you advance for any assistance with this project .

Btw there are still undiscovered Happy Cookers out there , let's find them !

What are the chances of this being made by Unarco
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

@Idahawk   Best of luck on your efforts to catalog the HC's.  I'll eventually get my HC cleaned up, and send you the pic's if you want.  It's the Black 22" psuedo-MT.  It appears to be in pretty good condition.  Really want to try it out on a serious cook.   SJ

@SmokinJoe I for one would love to see it!

@Idahawk  what kind of info are you looking for?  What years were they made? Do you know how many different models were made? Do you want pictures? Ok on reading it again you said how many different models DUH! ;D

@1911Ron  It's sitting on my deck, that dirty girl.  I'll take some before pics, just for posting  ...  BEFORE I start the cleanup.  Remember I also just got a Grey SS Performer and I really want to get her clean first !!!   So many kettles, so little time :(

PS  Are you 1911Ron or 1911A1Ron ???
