New link to a hot place (4)
I believe the answer is:
kiln
'a hot place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'new link' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'link' is an anagram of 'KILN'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kiln that I've seen before include "Oven for burning lime" , "Potter's Friend" , "Furnace, oven" , "Furnace for firing bricks" , "Drying furnace" .)
