The outer end of the to-bong' is cut at an angle, and as the tubes end outside the opening in the brick, the air inbreathed by the bellows, as the plungers are raised, is drawn from back of the fireplace thus the fire is not disturbed. The fuel is an inferior charcoal prepared by the Igorot from pine. This bellows is found throughout the Archipelago and is evidently a Malayan product.
These small tubes, called "to-bong'," end near an opening through a brick at the back of the fire, and the air forced through them passes on through the brick to the burning charcoal.
