It ignites something - such as outhouse fumes maybe.

The gizmo is not intended to light fumes, or other matter.

broiler thermostat?

Not a switch or thermostat. Of course, if used in an outhouse it's not impossible that it could ignite something.

Is it part of a self cleaning control system?

Not part of a cleaning system, in fact, it tends to make matters worse.

Pressure release valve such as for outhouse fumes. Could ignite them also to speed up the process.

Not a pressure relief valve, this would tend to have the opposite effect. There are no known installations to handle, ah, fumes, in that manner.
Not for rotisserie cooking, or a component of a rotisserie. You've wandered a little off the hot trail.

Oven rotisserie motor?

A blower motor? No, sorry. Good to see consideration given to additional stoves.

Not a motor. Does not cause physical motion of any other part.

Just googled outhouses. How silly of me to think that was an outhouse pressure relief valve. That's what the half moon cut in the door is for.
Searching . . .

Gizmos were originally invented and used for an entirely different purpose than this home application.

Well, let's see ... its not a capacitor, sensor or thermostat of any kind. It remains stationary and is not any kind of motor. It is not part of a self cleaning unit.
How many things does a stove/oven do?
Is it part of a convection oven or microwave?

Heating element in an Elmer Perkins gas chromatograph mass spectrometer used to anyalyze the content of gasses found in outhouses.

Convection oven?
Very good question.
This isn't really part of a convection oven, though convection ovens will partner with just about anyone these days, so it could be seen in the same unit.

lawman,
You're getting a lot closer. even a little is a lot in this case...
Perhaps a very high tech version, with a lot of adaptation could be used to....
Wait! Why would you want to analyze outhouse gases?

Darn you lawman ... it is a cavity magnetron! [en.wikipedia.org...]

It is a magnetron for a microwave oven. That's correct.
