I believe the answer is:

meerschaum

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

'it can get piping hot' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'travelling each summer' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates an anagram.
'each'+'summer'='eachsummer'
'eachsummer' with letters rearranged gives 'MEERSCHAUM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for meerschaum that I've seen before include "Clay tobacco pipe" , "It's smoked" , "Type of clay pipe" , "I'm puffed!" , "e.g. Tobacco pipe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
