In 1949 the Columbus Iron Works division of the W. C. Bradley Co. manufactured its first cast iron barbeque grill; innovative gas grills were added in the 1960's and in 1977 the division became known as W. C. Bradley Enterprises. Today it is known as Char-Broil® and remains one of the oldest and most respected outdoor cooking brands, with more Char-Broil® gas grills distributed across the United States than any other brand; it is number one in infrared grills.
