Given final discharge, military unit opening kebab place? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tandoor

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

'kebab place?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'given final discharge military unit opening' is the wordplay.
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'final' becomes 'tail-end' (tail-end can mean at the end).
'discharge' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'discharged' mean this (the letters inside the word released or discharged)).
'military unit opening' becomes 'oor' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tailend' with its centre taken out is 'tand'.
'tand' put next to 'oor' is 'TANDOOR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tandoor that I've seen before include "Clay oven" , "It has food cooked" , "Indian oven" .)
