Because said pot -- unless you specially cleaned it -- would have an
outer covering of soot and various resins from the wood used to cook.
This is a job that takes time (I would not be surprised if the local
carpenter could make a wooden form in less time), and also lowers the
efficency of the pot (because the bright metal has a poorer black body
behaviour).
