    I had to really hack into this one to cool it down

    1200w is too much, but with a big floor fan mounted above it is working now

    For coffee roasting - ditch all the plastic that mounts on top and custom fit a tin-can chimney. It won't survive long. Grab a used 400-440gm can. Chop off bottom too. Make 6 (or 8) 2-3cm cuts evenly spaced around the rim of one end to make 3 (or 4) tabs. Fold every 2nd up, fit into popper and it will hold in place as a chimney. The favoured one mentioned in earlier threads was a tuna or salmon from memory. I personally preferred a baked bean can. It sorta threatens the greens to agitate.

    For popcorn - can't help sorry.

    I got 2 from Crazy Clarks a few weeks back: $20 bucks each - cute red fellas with no safety cutoff so they get nice and toasty :-)
    (the second one I bought is for popcorn until my primary roaster popper breaks).

    Last time I looked they still have stock, if you don't have Crazy Clarks in your neighbourhood, Sams Warehouse or other Australian Retail Adventures owned stores may also have them.

    edit: meant to say they are "Casera" brand in case you see them advertised online somewhere.

    Was walking past Sam's Warehouse in Southport. They had a dozen or so on the shelves for $20. There was a whole range of small appliances under the same brand so I don't think they consider them any different from toasters or donut makers.

    Try Myer, I had the same experience. Myer should have Cornelius near icecream makers.

    I bought mine from Target.
    The shop assistant checked the computer and had one transfered from another store. Took about 3 days. $18.00

    Ah well, thanks guys! I did end up ordering the one from ebay for $43
    I figured I should make the money back anyway. Plus internet shopping is so easy!

    I had the same problem last year.
    Their supply seems to be seasonal. A few months they will be everywhere again.

    I got one from a Cash Converters for $10.

    I think they come and go, dancing in time with cargo ships arriving from PRC. Wait a couple of weeks and they'll probably be all over the place.

    I certainly wouldn't pay $43 for one. Have you checked the $2 shops or OP shops near you ?

    No one sells popcorn makers anymore?

    Hey Guys,

    I've been looking for a popcorn maker so I can start roasting at home. I've looked at Target, Big W, Kmart, and Harris Scarf. I haven't been able to find any popcorn makers!
    I'm thinking i might get this one from ebay: Link removed as per CS's posting policy.
    Unless anyone has any more ideas to look locally?

    Thanks
