Pieces of wood used for stirring salts (5)

I believe the answer is:

slats

'pieces of wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'stirring salts' is the wordplay.
'stirring' indicates anagramming the letters.
'salts' is an anagram of 'SLATS'.

'used for' is the link.

(Another definition for slats that I've seen is " Thin strips of wood or metal".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
