Everything is more fun outdoors in the summer time. One of my favorite activities in the summer is putting up a big outdoor movie screen and gathering family and friends for an outdoor showing. When we do this, we usually set up a popcorn bar with all of the fixings. The main question is how do we want to make the popcorn? Popcorn cooked over an open fire is the best! If you are planning an outdoor movie night, hosting a sleepover, or camping out anytime soon, you may want to make a batch of outdoor popcorn of your own. Here are the 3 best popcorn poppers for use over an open flame:
