Is this a Weber?

[mx.kessler]

Hey Guys,

i´m sitting here in germany and asking my self if what I found on the german craigslist is a weber or a Sears economy.

Any help is appreciated!

Just by the flat top black handles it looks like a Sears happy cooker.
But image is real bad

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

I asked the seller for more pictures...would be the first Sears happy cooker I see in germany

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.

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.

But thanks for alle the good information!
