Manipulation of thermal fluxes is essential in today's science and technology. However, modern thermal phononics relies on the wave interference of phonons and thus is truly efficient either at sub-kelvin temperatures or atomic scales. We propose an alternative concept of heat manipulation based on the particle picture of phonons and their ballistic transport. We call this concept ray phononics as
