After a little practice you will know from the discharging corn just what moment to turn the cylinder slowly backward and stop to dump the unpopped kernels. On the power machines you must draw the bolt on the crank before you can turn it backwards.
Put in another scoopful of corn.
Turn up the burner, and if you are using gasoline, first the outside and then the inside one, so that the lighting will be from the outside.
Proceed as before.
PEANUT CYLINDER
This machine may be used as a peanut roaster by using a special peanut cylinder in place of the pop-corn cylinder. These cylinders are carried in stock at the factory and will fit your popper.
To Roast Peanuts.
Open the slide, insert the funnel and put in peanuts until the cylinder is three-quarters full. Then close the slide; remove the pop-corn cylinder; light the burners; put the peanut cylinder in the machine, then revolve the cylinder at the same speed as the pop-corn cylinder, about eighteen to twenty revolutions per minute.
Test the peanuts by running a tryer in the hole in the cylinder.
It will require twenty to thirty minutes to roast.
