I know nothing about anything. But especially woodworking and blacksmithing. Is it to do with the varnish? The wood? Is there a protective layer on top? Is varnish a protective layer and did i just repeat myself? Am I asking too many questions?

    If you have water in your pot, then it cannot get much hotter than 100°C. Wood does not burn at 100°C.

    If you heat up the empty pot, then it could actually burn.

        I’ve seen a video of someone making soup in a plastic shopping bag over a camp fire

          Remember that blewing my mind as a kid, and then trying to fing a flame for a paper (or maybe, at that time, a plastic cup) that wouldn’t burn my fingers :-D

      Or you melt down the pot which I’ve done by not paying attention to the pot that boiled dried. I couldn’t figure out what this metal stuff coming out of the bottom of the pot was for a moment.
