Granium, the new nutritional sand from Mitchell's.

If it's not Mitchell's, get back in the truck.

In many respects, Granium is like regular sand,

but unlike regular sand, Granium is highly flammable.

Our advice is to store Granium several hundred yards away from any buildings.

And as long as you do that, you won't have any trouble,

unless it seeps into your water system.

For a free fire extinguisher with your next order, use the code Inferno.

Hello and welcome to the Beef and Dairy Network podcast.

The number one podcast for those involved,

or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds.

The Beef and Dairy Network podcast is the podcast companion to the Beef and Dairy Network website

and a printed magazine brought to you by Granium Nutritional Sand.

And as the advert says, it is worth noting that Granium is incredibly flammable,

as we found out this month, when we mistook a bag of it for normal sand

and used it to try and put out a fire.

To get an idea of what that was like, imagine dicing an old Christmas tree in petrol,

and then throwing it into a volcano.

The problem was then compounded when we tried to put out the Granium fire using a bucket of water,

not realizing that when Granium comes into contact with water,

it can create steam that's so hot that it can actually go back in time and start another fire
