The state a hut can get into (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

utah

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

'the state' is the definition.
(Utah is a US state)

'a hut can get into' is the wordplay.
'can' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'canned' mean this (canned can mean drunk)).
'get' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'hut' anagrammed gives 'uth'.
'uth' going around 'a' is 'UTAH'.

Can you help me to learn more?
