torch

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

'fire starter' is the definition.
'torch' can be an answer for 'fire' (torching is a kind of firing). I am unsure of the 'starter' bit.

'in tent or chalet' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TORCH' can be found hidden inside 'tent or chalet'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for torch that I've seen before include "source of enlightenment" , "Portable light; burn" , "Such a love song" , "Set fire to - hand-held light" , "Small hand-held battery lamp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
