Will burning an aluminum can remove creosote in your fireplace?

Sure might possibly Burn Some Creosote,(toxic fumes??)however if you happen to have an old stove/heater then theremay be a little bit of rust in there (iron oxide)...this can (in theory)can create a super hotfire!! Possibly, even a thermite-like reaction. See wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite)
