Not since they were bought by the CCCP. Still way better than the Happy Cooker and other cheap brands you buy at WallyWorld and the grocery store.
I have a 1986 red kettle, and a newer 2013 black kettle (the one with the gray plastic handle and the metal "taco" shield under the handle). I have a Bush's Beans Smoky Joe, and I have a couple of the Q's. I have refurbished them all. It's not terribly difficult - maybe a day's project. A 33 gallon trash can with a bag and some oven cleaner is very helpful to work on the kettles. You can find out more, if you are a Weber fan, at the Weber Kettle Club webpage and/or Facebook page.
