Doesn't aluminum melt around 1200 degrees fahrenheit? so wouldn't putting this in a hot campfire time after time eat away at it until a hole formed?

Valid point. Fortunately, your average campfires don't often reach that kind of temperature, and anyway that's the melting point of untreated aluminum. The anodization makes it quite a bit more heat resistant.
