If you have a metal spoon how is heat energy transferred to it from a gas ring?

heat energy is basically kinetc energy (movement energy), since heat is the atoms moving about, the atoms in the gas ring crash into the atoms of the spoon, and cause the atoms in the spoon, eventually the energy (movement), will be evenly spaced between all the atoms in the spoon and gas ring, this transferr is like when a snooker ball hits a triangle of the balls and makes all of them move around
