[QUOTE="EastwoodGang4, post: 1831071, member: 11000"] Hey guys just had a thought on tossing aluminum cans in the fire to reduce creosote. I googled the melting and burning temps of aluminum, and they are: melting 1220 F, and burning @ 6920 F!! surely we are just melting the cans and not burning them! But this makes me wonder where are the globs of melted aluminum in my ashpan?? And another question comes to mind... if we burn our fires hot enough to "burn" the can, then we should be burning our stoves hot enough to prevent creosote build up in the first place. Does the aluminum really change creosote build up? or does it just make it hot and crispy? Just a thought that makes me wonder....:monkey: [/QUOTE]
