That depends entirely on the method used to melt it. A decent-sized wood fire can be made to melt aluminium - the real key is having some kind of crucible where the molten aluminium can collect into an ingot - I have seen some particularly inventive (if somewhat esoteric) methods of doing so, such as using a blacksmith's forge fire and an iron crucible on the end of a long handle, and pouring the resulting liquid aluminium into the hollow of a pumpkin or a watermelon rind, where it quickly cools and solidifies.

No, the melting point of aluminum is 933.47 degrees Kelvin, or in conventional temperatures: (660.32 °Celsius, 1220.58 °Fahrenheit). Far beyond the heat radiated by the human hand.
