Is there a pic of the pot? I can't understand how you hold a wooden pot over fire without it burning, and how it can conduct the heat into the water, or how the water was even held in it without leaking.

The "pot" was just a segment ("cell"?) of bamboo with the top lopped off. I was surprised to see this as well, but I presume the water within kept the bamboo from catching fire.
