Ignitor coil - HOT cermaic piece

[EasyStreet]

Question - The ceramic piece above my ignitor coil is really hot . Is this normal? Its between the ignitor assemble and coil. Looks like a rect. rock?

Sounds like a ballast resistor....should get somewhat hot because of heat generated by resisting/lowering voltage....
