Hi guys, new to the forum, but not Snow Peak. I'm from Australia, so SP is very expensive atm.
I thought the paper towel holder was a limited offer item. We can't get them in Aus.

Yes you are doomed
Especially looking in this forum thread
REI used to carry quite a bit of snow peak, beyond the backpacking stuff, but with the Portland US HQ stocking, the website is fairly reliable source.

I never thought I'd see the multi tables w/o the hooks in the US, they sold out out of them very quickly in Japan. I think they save some item for their stores around the world, then slowly distribute them after Japan gets them first.
They also had a very cool Snow Peak Black case for the large fire place, also sold out instantly. That hasn't shown up in the US at all.
They are pushing that Stainless Steel Kitchen that has the holes to put attachments on the top rail. Pretty much all the attachments are FES limited items, so they probably have to re-manufacture some of the items to push the sales of the stainless steel kitchen. Im not complaining it gave me a chance to grab a set of the stainless steel end shelves and the paper towel holder, I never thought i would see them in stock again.

In order to get more independent from the Snowpeak Stoves I designed a laser cut stainless steel plate in 362mm x 250mm x 5mm, work was done by john-steel in France.
In this plate my old & reliable Primus burners fit perfectly.
I own the easy fuel gas version and multi fuel version that mostly runs on gas.
Today I did a comparison with a 20cm cladded 4 liter Pot to boil 3 liters of water from 20 degree celsius air temperature.
Primus Easy Fuel
Primus Multi Fuel
Snow Peak GS 1000 LI Stove
All on a 5kg propane bottle, gas pressure on my G-Works Regulatur was set to 0.45 Mpa
Result:
Primus Easy Fuel -> 13:30 Minutes
Primus Multi Fuel -> 8:30 Minutes
Snow Peak GS 1000 LI Stove -> 7:15 Minutes
So far not so bad for the comparable smallish Primus multi fuel stove.
When using a Pot with larger diameter (26/28cm) then the advantage of the GS1000 Stove will be more visible because of the larger Burner diameter.

Snow Peak IGT gas grill & Snow Peak reviews and tweaks
Nice work. REI have an identical version of those chairs? What was the process for shortening the legs? I may consider doing the same thing as it would fit our kids and low chairs better. What size legs are on the IGT frame?

I was lucky enough to grab a paper towel holder and a few of the FES Multi Tables. They are pretty cool.
I always wanted one of the CK-128 hangers for the kitchen utensils and almost bought a paper towel holder to dremel it, but figured if I wait long enough I might find one, one day some where or maybe they will come out with something similar.
I did notice snow peak use has the water proof bags that work like a sink now.

A simple SP upgrade to my moto camp kitchen.....Picked up a SP Titanium 450 Double wall mug to replace my old blue Boy Scout plastic cup thats been bouncing around for 40 years. Just got tired of my coffee going cold.....time to grow-up I guess.

Sailrite makes great machines and DIY videos.....good choice!
Mine is a Juki 1541S for custom work and product development, It replaced my old trusty REX.

I have burned too many times with Snow peak OOS issues.
It is an addiction
I have no idea how many they had in stock.
I am trying to build up an IGT setup; the CK-170's two units got discontinued, so when I saw the multi tables available in the US I grabbed those for my tables instead of the traditional ones with the hooks. I figure I use one for the IGT as a work space, and then one or two for a traditional table.
Worse case you could even use the low legs and use it as a low table. They seem more versatile than the extensions with the hooks, they should make it a regular item.
