I heard an old wise tale the other day and thought I would run it past all the experts on here to see if it is true or just a tale. I was told if you burn an aluminum can in your stove it will clean the cresote out of your pipe. Something to do with the fumes it puts out? I was just curious if anyone has ever tried this or was he just pulling my leg?

Nothing will take the place of proper burning techniques. It's just like auto maintenance. They have yet to make a "mechanic-in-a-can".
A better suggestion? Drink whatever is in the can after you've finished cutting next years wood.
