Char-Griller BOTTOM HALF KK (06619, 06620, 86620, 86619) – KIT

It does work great and now I have a red and black grill. Finally had time to put this together and it is actually lighter than the old black one but did notice if that bracket breaks again there is a much easier way to replace it. The new bracket is attached by screws and will be a lot easier than having to take half the grill apart.

Good replacement piece, with some caveats. Use my KK for grilling, smoking, works well, fairly durable in high Wisconsin humidity. Ordered the KK Bottom Half replacement kit, item 900097. Site fails to indicate what's included: 21 screws for remounting, and an ashpan gasket. (I ordered an ashpan gasket with the kit, not having information that I did not need to. Ugh.) No screws for moving the old ID tag to the new bottom half, although holes in the bottom half to accommodate screws--I think they are tiny torque-head screws, but there's no seating for screws behind the holes in the replacement bottom half, so it would not be possible to attach with new or old screws. On the unit I received, the two spring clips for attaching the ashpan were mounted too low, so the asphan hangs loosely; had to bend the clips on the ashpan so it would seat snugly, which was not difficult. Also, the spring clip for the lid was mounted upside down, another easy fix. Looks promising, after the wrangling. Will need to use something to plug the small holes for the tin identification label for optimal insulation. These are very good grills, over all. I'm on my third set of grates, and will simply get a stainless steel one from another vendor next time. Still, I love this grill.

Absolutely would buy this product again. Had the original grill for 9 years. Wisconsin weather caused it to rust out. Got the replacement installed it and looks and works like new again. Perfect fit, took minutes to replace.
