...First Score of 2014

[tattooedant]

I went to an estate sale this morning after I saw this in a picture.


It wasn't listed as a Weber, but of course it shouldn't have been. It was a bright red happy Cooker. Yes, I know some of you are spitting up your coffee at the sight of one, but I had to have one.

The best thread here is this one, where Z publically declares his love for the HC...

Here's some pics after I got it home.


dirty, dirty, dirty...like I like em..


I really wanted it because I think the idea of moving the charcoal up and down is really cool, and I know the ashpan is very useful. Turns out this grill, although dirty, had not been used in a long time. The encrusted grease worked by protecting the grill from any rust.





The cool ashpan attached.

Its looks like its designed really well, especially for a knockoff. I think I may have to get this one in the rotation.

Super nice score! I would definitely get that at the top of the rotation because that adjustable charcoal grate will make it much more versatile. Please share a picture of how the ash pan connects and a few at the different levels. I bet the wood knob would refinish well and I would bet Brian could make some sweet handles for it. Maybe even a Craycort.  Please cook something and take a few action shots. I hope to find one like that one day, so I would really appreciate it. Again nice score.

That's quite nice! Brian loves his happy cooker.

[Jeff]

Yeah...don't let Brian know where you live
...your Happy Cooker might have a new home!

That is one pretty redhead! I'd love to find an internal ash pan like that... then again we all would. I want to make one.

Great score! Looks to be in show room condition. Show us a cook, Brian has yet to show one on his...

[dazzo]

Nice!

[Bman]

That cleaned up nice!  I would have picked it also.

[Peaspurple]

I would have grabbed it too. I love my happy cooker.
