I'm Pretty Sure this is a Happy Cooker

[AZRaptor]

I just arranged to pick up this grill on Wednesday night. When I first saw the ad for this "Weber grill" I thought it was a gas kettle I could hopefully use for parts on the Gas Kettle Performer, but it turned out to be a charcoal grill. I believe this is a Happy Cooker, but I thought I'd post some of the pics the seller sent me to get confirmation. I think the internal ash pan is cool and the lid looks like it opens farther than it does on my SS Performers.

I saw that. I sent him a message telling him it was worth a $1000.00 .

You're too late. I just informed him it's a $2000 grill.

@Idahawk,  Is this the HC version that can raise the internal ash pan & coal grate higher to sear meat     The hinged lid is just like mine, but mine is on the tripod legs w/ a triangle.                            SJ

So on these Happy Cookers do the lit coals go in the ash pan or is there supposed to be a charcoal grate above it?

[SmokenJoe]

Mine has the ash pan below the charcoal grate (too catch the ash before it clogs the intake vents below I believe).  Cooking grate above the two of them.                             SJ

AZR, does the knob on the mounting tube below the bowl raise and lower something that holds the ash pan (and coal grate) ??   What's under the ash pan ??

I don't pick it up until tomorrow night, but I'll be sure to post some pictures of it when I do. From the pictures in this thread it looks like it would raise the ashpan and therefore the charcoal grate above it for higher heat cooking. (Note the setting names on the close up of the sticker.)

  The grate rests on top of the internal ash pan and the internal ash pan is connected to a pipe and can be adjusted up and down accordingly . They made both a pedestal and standard grill with the hinged lid as well those same models without the hinged lid 🏻️
