What This Panel Does — and Who Actually Needs It
The 806060 is a finishing component, not a functional one. It has no door, drawer, or storage function. Its job is to cover the rear face of a Broil King 5-burner cabinet — the back side of the island that's visible from behind rather than the front. Without it, that surface typically shows raw cabinet framing or structural material that doesn't match the stainless finish running across the front of the island. If your 5-burner 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 guests, a pool deck, or a seating area has a sightline to the back — this is the component that closes the gap.
5-Burner Cabinet Compatibility — Confirm Before Ordering
The 806060 is specifically designed as a rear panel for a Broil King 5-burner cabinet. The product type field states this explicitly, and the 37.88-inch width confirms it — falling squarely within the listed width range of 35–39⅞ inches, sized for the 5-burner cabinet configuration rather than a larger or smaller run. If your Broil King cabinet is a different burner count, this panel will not be the right fit. The 807060 covers the 6-burner cabinet at 45.20 inches wide; other configurations may have their own corresponding panels. The 806060 is designed for the Broil King 806600 5-burner stainless steel cabinet. — confirm with Broil King or your dealer before ordering.
Dimensions and Profile
The 806060 measures 37.88 inches wide × 30.69 inches tall × 1.85 inches deep, and weighs 13 lbs. The width falls within the 35–39⅞ inch range listed in the spec table. The 1.85-inch depth adds minimal bulk to the rear of the island, and the 30.69-inch height is consistent across the Broil King Cabinets collection — matching the 800050 cabinet side panel and the 807060 rear panel, which allows a consistent vertical profile when multiple finishing components are used on the same island.
304 Stainless Steel and Water Resistance
The 806060 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 relying on a surface coating that wears away. On a rear panel that may face direct weather exposure on a freestanding island, the water-resistant rating is a meaningful spec that separates this from enclosed assemblies in the collection that carry a Water Resistant: No rating.
Part of the Broil King Cabinets Collection
The 806060 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, and access panels in the collection — no color or sheen mismatch between the rear panel and the rest of the island's stainless surfaces.
