Uh oh, popcorn keeps flying out. Put a piece of foil up there as a cover. #popcorn

Disaster averted. Popcorn is burnt. Most of it did not pop. Conclusion: diy coffee roaster CANNOT be used to also pop popcorn, better to use the air popper or a pan with a lid. #popcorn #disaster

@tirrimas @ai6yr I'd imagine an old dish-shaped barbecue with an opening in the bottom to get ash out would also work. Set the heat below. Might have to widen the opening and/or use a flue there. Put the popcorn in a kettle with a lid on a rack.

I'm full of bad ideas today. Use at your own risk, lol.

Not a terrible first pass. No fire department was involved, so I'd call it modestly successful.
