Anger about new stove selection (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

range

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stove selection' is the definition.
'range' can be an answer for 'selection' (a selection is a range of things). I am not certain of the 'stove' bit.

'anger about new' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'rage' enclosing 'n' is 'RANGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Series of connected mountains" , "Roam" , "Series, of mountains perhaps" , "on which 'Dr Brewster Higley' felt at home?" , "Expanse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
