Heat a large pot to medium-high heat (level 7) with coconut oil and one kernel of popcorn.
After the first kernel pops, add remaining popcorn and stir for ONLY 30 seconds.
Sprinkle sugar in a layer and mix continuously until the first kernel pops--IMMEDIATELY stop mixing and cover pan with top.
Continuously shake and move pan while the remaining popcorn pops to avoid the sugar burning. Once a large layer of popped corn is formed, very carefully vent the steam from the pot by slightly opening the lid.
Transfer all the popcorn to a baking sheet in making another batch and generously salt to taste.
