sure, burn the house down....
use a ceramic tile or plate. it will disperse the heat throughout the plate/tile, and will be much less of a potential hazard.
if you don't know how to make it a remote ballast (if it's not already), here is a link that shows you exactly how to wire it. just follow the directions and it will all work perfectly.

Its a must that ballast don't sit directly on the ground where if a flood or waterspill occur it can enter the ballast and become a hazardous or even deadly environment. As far as heat goes, thats something that you will have to deal with yourself, its your own environment.
