My two cents is to pass on this & get a better/bigger unit.  I have an 8 oz. Lincoln Popper by Great Northern.  My driveway movie nights usually bring 10-15 people, and I go through 3-4 batches of popcorn.  I can pop a batch or two before showtime and they'll stay warm in the popper.  I'll have another batch popping as people arrive and one later as needed.

I wouldn't want to have to do more batches or store the popped corn outside of the popper.

This is on craigslist by my house, unopened in the box for $60.... is this worth it or should I save up and spend the money for a professional type popper?

This really looks like it takes time to get done. I work on a PC everyday, but to be honest I don't understand much about them.. I have programmers and IT folks for that. Since this is my first year doing the BYT I am sure that I will find things to improve. I have a huge collection of DVDs, but nothing that is on a hard drive... do I have to buy those movies digital to get them so they can be used? I have a few old laptops laying around, is there a minimum requirement for setting up a PC as your entertainment center? Hmmmmm I think I have way to many questions for this thread... I may need to start a new one unless there is another one on here that someone can point me to.

Nice set-up. Does the screen being under the porch let you start earlier?

Thanks. I can start around 8:15. The sun shines towards our porch while it sets.

Wow! Nice set-up....and I thought I was remodeling the backyard for the BYT.

Hello everyone. I took some pictures of our back yard the other day when we had the neighbors over for " Miracle".  The pics are before anyone got there. Typically we have around 20 people over. Nothing to big but its good times.



My wife had cooked the popcorn inside with the popcorn machine but set all the goods outside.

That is so cool on so many levels. I have thought about a ceiling mount but didn't want to attach to the existing structure. You have given me some ideas to try. More pics of it in use, when you get a chance.

Looks like it was a fun/enjoyable start to the weekend.  I hope the rest of your weekend was just as enjoyable.

Happy,

Congrats (or condolences - whichever is more appropriate) on catching the BYT bug in a big way.

I always love hearing about others whose first show or two were simple setups with stuff they had around the house/yard.  Then if the bug bites it starts growing.

You've really embraced BYT by dedicating a big portion of your yard to the "stadium" seating.
