Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover with the lid, and cook, shaking the pot every 30 seconds, until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Transfer the popped corn to a large mixing bowl, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to coat. Discard any unpopped kernels.
