Stoking boiler for Rocket? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

firework

This clue is a double definition.

'stoking boiler' is the first definition.
(stoking a boiler is working with fire)

'rocket?' is the second definition.
(rocket is a kind of firework)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for firework that I've seen before include "fountain, say" , "Pyrotechnic device" , "Colourful incendiary device used for entertainment" , "Banger, for example" , "rocket" .)
