What This Panel Does — and Who Actually Needs It
The 804060 is a finishing component with one job: covering the rear face of a Broil King 2-door cabinet. It has no door, drawer, or storage function. Its value is entirely visual — replacing exposed cabinet framing or raw material on the back of the island with a clean, matched stainless panel that reads as part of the same build. If your 2-door cabinet island is installed against a wall where the rear is permanently hidden, you don't need this panel. If it's freestanding, or positioned where the rear face is visible from a patio, pool deck, or seating area — this is the component that closes the gap.
2-Door Cabinet Compatibility — A Different Naming Convention
Unlike the 805060, 806060, and 807060 rear panels — which are identified by burner count (4-, 5-, and 6-burner) — the 804060 is identified by door count: "Rear Panel for 2-Door Cabinet." This means it's designed for a cabinet configured around two doors rather than a specific grill burner count, which is a distinct product type in the Broil King Cabinets lineup. The 804060 is designed for the Broil King 804200 stainless steel 2-door cabinet. The 804200 is a separate general-purpose cabinet module that can accommodate accessories such as a sink; it is not the same as Broil King’s 4-, 5-, or 6-burner grill-head cabinets. — this is the key compatibility question to resolve before ordering, since the naming convention differs from the rest of the rear panel series.
Dimensions, Profile, and Width Range Overlap
The 804060 measures 35.41 inches wide × 30.69 inches tall × 1.85 inches deep, and weighs 12 lbs. The listed width range is 35–39⅞ inches — the same range as the 806060 (5-burner rear panel), though the actual widths differ: the 804060 is 35.41 inches while the 806060 is 37.88 inches. Both panels fall within the same stated range but are designed for different cabinet configurations. If you're deciding between the two, don't rely on the width range alone — confirm the cabinet type (2-door vs. 5-burner) to ensure you're ordering the correct panel. The 30.69-inch height and 1.85-inch depth are consistent across all Broil King rear panels and the 800050 cabinet side panel.
304 Stainless Steel and Water Resistance
The 804060 is rated water-resistant and uses 304-grade stainless steel — an 18/8 chromium-nickel alloy that forms a passive oxide layer against rust and corrosion rather than a surface coating that degrades over time. This matches the rating and material used across all other rear panels and the 800050 cabinet side panel in the Broil King Cabinets collection.
Part of the Broil King Cabinets Collection
The 804060 belongs to Broil King's Cabinets collection, designed to pair visually with other Broil King outdoor kitchen components. The 304 stainless finish matches the grade used across doors, drawer assemblies, access panels, and other finishing components in the collection — no color or sheen mismatch between the rear panel and the rest of the island's stainless surfaces.
