    Abstract: A popcorn popper wherein the corn is popped in a dry condition in a drum rotating on a horizontal axis. An electrical heater is attached to the periphery of the drum. The drum has inner and outer cylinder walls with a popping chamber between the walls and discharge chamber within the inner wall. A separator gate guides corn after it is popped from the popping chamber into the discharge chamber. A discharge chute extends outwardly from the discharge chamber and a carrier blade within the inner wall moves the popped corn to a position to be dumped into the discharge chute. There is also a fan for blowing the popped corn from the discharge chute upwardly through a spout into a container and the fan and drum are driven by the same motor.
