Mine are offset so I think all I’m going to do is put stainless steel rod dogs on and longer chain so I can easily pick them up and set them on my knee.

Could always run them for a season to make sure you like them and then change anything you see fit. I forgot to mention that I’m adding knockout box cover to make big pans but that’s all I’m doing before I test them out this season.
