After burner? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ember

(Other definitions for ember that I've seen before include "Still smouldering fragment of wood or coal" , "Fire remnant" , "It glows in dying fire" , "Glowing remainder of a fire" , "Cryptic question" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
