This illustrates method of placing corn in cylinder
Turn up the fire and revolve the cylinder clockwise, eighteen or twenty revolutions to the minute.
The popping should begin in one and one-half to two and one-half minutes.
After the popper has been running a little while and becomes thoroughly warmed up, popping may begin in one and one-half minutes.
When the popping is about two-thirds completed, if you are using gasoline fuel, turn down the inside burner only. When gas is used turn the valve off about half-way.
In case pop-corn catches fire in the cylinder, put in a scoop of raw corn, which will extinguish the blaze.
