How to Properly Use a Tong Gas

This only applies to states still using the ancient tong gas for cooking in the kitchen. It should be a rare sight in cities in Malaysia where there are underground gas pipes feeding home kitchens nationwide. If you don't know what a tong gas is, it's basically a heavy tank of inflammable gas that is connected to a stove to create fire. This is a method way ancient than rubbing two sticks together to make fire.

STEP 1: Buy a tong gas. Roughly RM78 a tong. If its RM100, the shop is taking advantage of you. Bring the tong home and place it in a spot near your stove. Pull the protective rubber out to reveal a hole (but don't throw away the rubber!)

STEP 2: Then gently place this gray colored device into position as shown. It should fit the hole of the tank.
STEP 3: Twist this black thingy by the side of the gray device to 'lock' the head onto the tong gas.

STEP 4: Make sure the other end of the gray device (should be a black rubber tube, or any color variant) is attached to the stove. Buy one of those cheap RM0.50 screws to lock the tube into place.

STEP 5: Congratulations you can now cook safely, until the gas runs out. Go watch the Asian Food Channel if you want some inspiration on what to cook.

STEP 6 (Optional): Do STEP 1 to 5 in a reverse order if you don't plan to use it for a long time. Disconnecting the tube and putting the rubber cap back onto the tong gas should help reduce the chance of a gas leak and an exploding house.
