Popcorn into the firebox?

[Firelock76]

I've heard of pizza from a coal-fired oven, why not coal-fired popcorn?

I guess you have to dump the popcorn down the stack:

First off, it might pop.  It would burn.  Temperatures in a firebox are 'way above ideal popcorn popping level.

Then, whatever reached the smokebox would either be small enough to pass through the screen, or big enough to foul it.

It's a safe bet that whatever made it out the stack would not be recognizable as popcorn.

Let's say if a person theoretically emptied a 50 pound bag of popcorn into the firebox of a steamed up locomotive. I'm sure it would be a mess but would popcorn come out of the smokestack?
