The lump of coal bomb was potentially more effective. Dead rats might get thrown in the trash rather than the boiler. Something that looked like a lump of coal in a boiler's coal bin wouldn't raise any suspicion and was surer of making it to the boiler fire.
Apparently the idea originated with those evil secessionists...

but was adopted by the British, Americans, Germans and Japanese in WWII.
"Both the American OSS and the British SOE used forms of exploding coal in World War II.[18][19] The German commandos who came ashore on Long Island in 1942 as part of Operation Pastorius carried plastic explosives disguised as coal for use against coal-fired electric generating plants."
