The Finishing Touch That Makes Your Outdoor Fridge Look Built-In
A custom-fit 304 stainless rear panel for 24-inch compact refrigerators — so your island looks intentional from every angle.
The Broil King 800040 solves the detail that most outdoor kitchen builds overlook: the back side of the refrigerator section. Once your 24-inch compact fridge is set into the island, the rear panel closes it out — covering exposed framing and giving the build a clean, finished appearance that holds up outdoors. Built from 304-grade stainless steel, water-resistant, and American-made, it's the same quality standard as the rest of the Broil King cabinet system. Includes a kick plate for a fully finished bottom edge. If you're building to a standard you'd be proud to show off from any angle, this is the panel that gets you there.
Built to Finish Clean, Built to Last Outside
Two specs that define this panel's performance: the steel grade that handles outdoor exposure, and the fit range that covers most 24-inch compact refrigerators.

Premium Stainless Grade
The same grade used throughout the Broil King cabinet system — corrosion-resistant and built for permanent outdoor installation.

Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take›
This panel is for the builder who sweats the details. If you're putting a 24-inch compact fridge into a Broil King island, the rear panel is what determines whether the back of your build looks finished or thrown together. Most people only think about the front face — but if your island is visible from more than one side, or if you just have standards, the 800040 is the piece that closes it out right.
One thing worth knowing: this fits most 24-inch compact refrigerators, not all of them. If you're using a non-Broil King fridge in the opening, confirm your unit's external dimensions against the panel's fit range (20–24⅞ inches wide) before ordering. And plan for this during the build — it's much easier to install before the island is fully enclosed than after.
- Outdoor kitchen builders finishing a 24-inch refrigerator section and want the rear to look as clean as the front
- Broil King cabinet system owners completing an island build with matching stainless components
- Anyone whose island is visible from multiple angles and wants a fully finished appearance all the way around
- Builders working with most standard 24-inch compact refrigerators who need a rear finishing panel with some fit flexibility
