Equipment for heat creators and presses (8)

I believe the answer is:

andirons

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

'equipment for heat creators' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'and presses' is the wordplay.
'presses' becomes 'irons' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
'and'+'irons'='ANDIRONS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andirons that I've seen before include "Firedogs, iron supports for fireplace" , "Metal stands in a fireplace" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
