Bought the IGT Extension table on sale this summer. I have an IGT4 which is great, but the extension table is different and good for a 2 set-up. Only downside, is that you can't use the grill or high heat as the heat can burn the bamboo top. Using regular burners seems fine, but I did move the tables out with a large flat griddle as I didn't wanted to dissipate the heat.
What I like: simple and east to setup, good size for a 2 unit IGT, bamboo side table units already attached and slide to each side, comes with sturdy bag, comes with metal corner protectors for the bamboo tables, well made and is way more elegant than camping equipment.
What I don't like: heavy, can't use BBQs due to burning the bamboo side table, low height is not adjustable, expensive
I took it to the Black Rock Desert in June to test it out and overall, I like it, especially if I am solo camping or with just one other. Its much quicker to set-up and take down than a full IGT with legs and inserts. It also stores smaller than an IGT 4 as it is much shorter.
I brought out 4 chairs to test height and do a comparison. The IGT Extension is short and the low luxury chair seems to be the best and shortest height. The regular low chair is slightly higher, the Take long sits you back and is not conducive to cooking, but very comfortable for lounging. The Front Runner Expander chair is more like a conductor chair and sits higher. But being upright, cab work. I am used to standing while preparing meals when camping, so it was kinda nice to sit and relax a bit.
Looking at the pics, I realized I forgot to take a shot of what it looks like with 2 IGT burners in it. Alos, the Front Runner box was used a windbreak and you can see I extended both tables away from the burner to avoid any heat build up. Probably not necessary but it was my first time using it.

If anyone else is out there, we're still looking for 6 total buyers for the charcoal riser, in case anyone came back from SPW all excited. I think we have 3 loose commitments.
