Everywhere I go I see giant barrels of ~~gunpowder~~ 'smokepowder' but it's only ever used for somewhat uncommon bombs. My parties benefits less from the party's rogue's soul than it would a swashbuckling rogue armed with a brace of pistols.
I know there's a big debate about it in the DnD community. But surely a Faustian bargain is enough of a lore reason in a world overflowing with explosive barrels.
I pick those bad boys up and keep them for later fights. You can really wipe out a bunch of lower hp enemies with just one barrel and it's hilarious. With a couple high strength characters you can do silly stuff like have one guy throw oil the next throw firewine and then the third throw smokepowder. In the words of Leeloo "Big Baddaboom".
