Way burnt remains hide (5)

I believe the answer is:

stash

'hide' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'way burnt remains' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'burnt remains' becomes 'ash' (remains of a fire).
'st'+'ash'='STASH'

(Other definitions for stash that I've seen before include "Secret store (colloq.)" , "Cache" , "Hide (something) away" , "drug store" , "collection" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
