Got the bolts worked out for the drawer side of the drawer slides. I'll post since it took 1 hour of screwing around at the hardware store to find something that would work.
The slides call for #10 screws but I think they are a tad small for something this big. The channel in the IGT will let a 6mm screw slide around without being too loose. So, I needed:

Pulled all the square nuts out of their containers and have a set of bolts ready to go.

This is how it's going to work.

I had to enlarge the selected holes in the drawer slide to accept 6mm bolts. If you do this, adjust the slide so that the hole you are drilling does not have more drawer slide behind it. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! I almost screwed up one of my $150 drawer slides. Also, do not use the rear hole. The head of your screw will hit the "lock in" parts. The second to last hole is fine.

Slide into the IGT like so. This selection of parts worked great. Nothing was a PITA.

Drawer slides attached and tightened. This is a pic of full-extension. Ten MF feet long Yo!

Plenty of room for reaching insert controls (burners and such):

Cool. I wasn't looking forward to that. Next is to design the box for the right-hand side. Since the IGT box inserts are 1-unit only, shallow, and nearly unobtainable...I am going to make my own out of the same sheet goods as the cabinets and make sure they are deep enough and long enough to store the crap I want to store.
Hopefully the insert will be built tomorrow thanks to @Riptide for giving me a lot of clearance measurements for IGT gear I don't have yet! Now I can be pretty sure the stuff will fit when I can afford it.
The slides call for #10 screws but I think they are a tad small for something this big. The channel in the IGT will let a 6mm screw slide around without being too loose. So, I needed:
- (10) 6mm - 1p square nuts (the only way I could find them was to purchase the type of inserts that go in computer racks....don't know what they are called but the first picture is the doodad in question).
- (5) 6mm - 1p X 10mm bolts (for the right-hand side of the drawer...the side where I will be standing during cooking)
- (5) 6mm - 1p X 12mm bolts (for the left-hand side of the drawer, which needs a longer screw because the wind screen will be sandwiched between the drawer and drawer slide).
- (5) 6mm washers (in case I need to play with the length of the screws on the wind screen side)
