This BBQration replacement kit is designed for KitchenAid 3-burner gas grill owners with models like 720-0787D, 730-0787D, 720-0953 series, and 730-0953 series. It includes three 7mm solid stainless steel cooking grates (each 18 13/16" x 8 1/8"), heat plates (16 1/2" x 4 1/2"), and burners (16 1/2"), providing a complete refresh for aging grills facing rust or wear.
Standout features shine in real-world use: the thick stainless steel construction offers excellent corrosion resistance and even heat distribution, with users noting perfect fit, easy installation, and flames that perform better than originals thanks to adjustable vents. Reviewers frequently praise how it makes their grill feel brand new, fixing issues like poor ignition from eroded parts.
Build quality emphasizes durability with rust-resistant materials suited for propane or natural gas, though some note thinner heat shields and burners compared to OEM, plus minor sizing variances like slight grate movement. Customer service stands out, with rapid replacements for any fit issues.
Minor drawbacks include the lack of retaining pins and potential for faster wear on lighter components, but these do not detract from overall value. Verdict: Highly recommended for KitchenAid owners seeking a cost-effective way to extend grill life with reliable performance.
