Fire lit as second servant stuffs meat (6)
I believe the answer is:
beacon
'fire lit' is the definition.
I know that 'fire' relates to this answer.
'second servant stuffs meat' is the wordplay.
'second servant' becomes 'e' (2nd letter of 'servant').
'stuffs' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'meat' becomes 'bacon' (bacon is a kind of meat).
'e' put into 'bacon' is 'BEACON'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beacon that I've seen before include "Signal fire - transmitter" , "Signal fire - signalling buoy" , "Warning light in the distance" , "Warning, guiding, fire" , "Shiner" .)
