It is a bad pic, but I think I'm seeing a rotten wood handle. Ash pan looks like Weber.

Crimped grate holder, two-wire triangle, aluminum lid vent, & Weber style pan leads me to believe Sears Economy.  Handle looks too bulky for Happy Cooker. Thinking someone painted the wood handle black.

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🤞

It's a Sears Economy Kettle made by Weber for Sears , it's called an economy kettle because it was left unmarked and plain and it also eliminated the need for welding in grate straps , instead the bowl was formed with a lip that the grate rests on .

Happy Cookers don't use external ash pans

I have one and turned it into a shorter table top grill. It's a cool little grill I got on Craigslist for free. It is a Weber"Happy Home" model. The handles are black plastic with the Happy Home name on them and can be easily removed.  New food grates don't fit so you have to put on bolts to support the new food grate. The bowl and lid are solid Weber but no charcoal or food grate supports. The original food grate rested on a lip of the lid while the charcoal grate just rested on the bowl ( no lip on the bowl).  It is a three wheeler and has the older style ash catcher.  The wheels should have the white Weber plastic name on them.

thanks for all the information. The seller checked it for me again and it is no Weber, so I did not buy it.

But thanks for alle the good information!
