No chance of the PC being able to get that much aluminum or even rusted iron in time.

Ah! That's what I'm talking about.

Of course there is no chance of anything like perfect conditons for most of the grain dust or flour. But drop two tons in the area and have a djinn tornado around for a while mixing it with the air and the hope is that there will be pockets of explosive conditions when the Alchemist's Fire starts raining down.

It seems like a reasonable thing to try, at least, considering that the alternative is scrounging up a lot of arrows and crossbow bolts and dumping them all more-or-less randomly outside the walls from a great height.
