Default Fuel cooking..is this normal?

I got my poulan 46 up and running today,and still have a couple bugs to work out,its running pretty good. I noticed though while pouring gas into the carb to prime it(I have to get it sucking fuel better),the gas would instantly start cooking inside the carb barrel where the carb meets the metal cylinder. So my question is,is it normal for the engine to be hot enough to boil gas when it hits the metal? I was kinda afraid it would catch fire,and in turn catching my gassy hands and small amount of gas I was priming it with on fire too!
