This is a great idea @ClubChapin. I too hit that damn thing with my Chimney.
I am going to turn it now.
Funny how allot of guys want to place the burner tube closer to the kettle wall and i want to center it.
It works well. I've used it enough to decide it is ok (for me) closer to the bowl.
You do need to move it closer to the bowl to move the igniter to the top of the tube.
I like the burner where it was, but am fine with it closer to the bowl. Chimney, basket, and, I presume, SNS will still work with it in the closer to bowl position.
Why do you want to center it? Vortex or GBS usage?
