Q. Can I use popcorn other than the 80z packages supplied by Lonsdale Events?
A. We can only guarantee the proper production of popcorn using the packages we supply. The heating kettle is simple and basically heats popcorn & oils which should work with other popcorn, but Lonsdale Events can not provide instruction or guidance for this use.

A. Please allow approximately 10 minutes for the unit to start popping after the popcorn package and turning on the heating kettle.
Q. Do I need to wait for a batch of popcorn to be completed before adding another package of popcorn?
A. No, do not add in more popcorn after its already begun popping. You can add up to 2 packages to start with. But do not add any more until the kettle has finished popping its full contents. Once it has popped fully, lower the kettle and empty the bin of any burnt pieces. Then drop in a new package & repeat as necessary.
