SOS vet broadcast for cooking equipment (6)

I believe the answer is:

stoves

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

'for cooking equipment' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'sos vet broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram (letters scattered or cast around).
'sos'+'vet'='sosvet'
'sosvet' is an anagram of 'STOVES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stoves that I've seen before include "Cooking appliances" , "Closed domestic structures for burning fuels" , "Domestic cookers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
