I wasn't sure about the material either, so I bought a set of pillowcases during a "Seconds" sale. They made me a believer.

This is the one I grew up with! My dad would cut down a brown grocery bag to fit under the chute, then we'd load up individual bowls with popcorn & pour the butter over those.

Man, so many great memories of watching the Sunday night Disney movie & eating popcorn.

I'm pretty sure the wire frayed & sparked in the early 2000s. I just bought a new air popper that has the melty butter dish too.

Reply to Pilot light playing hard to get by dingustotalicus

I have the same issue (manufactured home furnace). My pilot light was so far back that most lighter "guns" were too short to reach.

Regular matches on the end of a match holder/extender kept blowing out, so I started using camping matches (ones guaranteed to light in the rain) on the end of a match holder/extender. Now it's a less than 5 minute process instead of a 30 minute ordeal.
