Container of material for starting a fire (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tinderbox

(Other definitions for tinderbox that I've seen before include "Old container for fire-lighting equipment" , "Old lighter" , "Touchy or explosive person or thing" , "Potentially explosive situation" , "explosive type?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
