Title: Not Another Weber Kettle?
Post by: MrHoss on June 13, 2017, 08:09:28 AM
I am gonna start tossing pictures of these Webber, Wieber, Wubbers here. Let those confused souls unable to tell what a real Weber is find this here thread.....or maybe just live with a Charbroil thinking it is worthy. This is for NON-Weber products.

If Weber went full beast mode against the Happy Cooker
how can they not go after that Bud grill??

Right down to the ash catcher everything has the look
and feel of a Weber but not quite close enough to bother
I guess.

Bet the metal in that Bud grill is just like a beer can too.

I think the HC was just a little too close for Weber. They were made a few miles away and I am sure that pissed the folks at Weber. It was a good copy if not better in some ways.. Whaaat did he say?  Yeah, the HC was in some ways better than Weber..
That blue POS is probably made in China.. Its not even a competitor..

I've never seen or used one; what did Happy Cooker do differently that was better than Weber?

The porcelain was somewhat thicker and the units came with an internal ash pan. This pan sat in the bowl underneath the charcoal grate. It breathed via holes around the edge.

A search of the board will yield all kinds of posts with Happy Cookers. There used to be a member here who knew a lot about them but he is AWOL right now.

Smokey Junk.

This is Canadian Tire's answer to the Smokey Joe which I got on sale for $9.99 to light chimney starters on.  Everything about this barbecue is flimsy. I can't imagine anybody who bought one to cook on using it more than once or twice before giving up.

I've got to say that PK 360 is a beautiful grill. Considered one before purchasing the Performer but the price is a bit much. A friend has the original PK and loves it.

They look like great grills.  If I ever dropped Weber, I would probably try PK first.  I imagine they last even longer than the Weber.  The downside, other than price point, is the size of the cooking surface.

Now go say 3 Our Fathers and 1 Hail Mary for your penance for even thinking of dropping Weber LOL

I have Weber kettles and several PK grills.  Like Webers, PK grills have a cult following, especially in the South.  I love my PK grills and would recommend them to anyone who likes charcoal cooking.

Yes, the Green Samson has the same metal Weber wheels. Interestingly, the Red Samson seems to have a  thinner wheel similar to even older 60's Weber kettles with triangle pans

The kids wouldn't take no for an answer when they saw this at a garage sale. It sucks. Dont put all your hot dogs on one side, or the grate falls down and rolls your dogs in the coal. Good thing I cleaned it first
