A useful thing to do in lane is to place a barrel behind you, out of range of your opponent, and wait for its HP to go down. Then when you have 2 charges again, place both new ones down in a line towards your opponent and Q the first barrel.

Unless you opponent is Shyvana or Renekton they cannot destroy the barrel you just threw at them fast enough, letting you get an explosion on them for free.
