That could work! Remember that it has been quite some time, and a lot of the powder could be damp already, making it risky, yet highly rewarding to use it! 

Reason is why i am so restrictive on Boom-Powder and Gunpowder is because....well, every problem can be solved by throwing Explosives at it! A rat armed with a spear, will still have a hard time against an Angry dog, while an Rat with a Cannon will just need to land a lucky shot! 

As for flamethrower, they would be crude and dangerous, fitting for rag-tag constructions, but possible!
