Pop the popcorn kernels: heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2–3 test kernels, cover, and wait until they pop. Add the remaining kernels in a single layer, cover, and shake the pot gently every 30 seconds until the popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops. Transfer the popped corn to a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels. You should have about 9–10 cups of popped corn.
