SKIP: the picture of your 12" Furphy looks great, can you give me any information what to look for to tell the difference between an original and one that is made in China.


G'day Nelson,

Nice ovens there mate. Some good info here regarding Aussie and Chinese Furphys

I reckon one of us needs to go buy a Chinese Furphy so that we can take heaps of photos to show everyone what they look like.

Now who's going to do it.  Not me. Cool

I use'ta think that if I looked long and hard enough I'd find some of those rarer ovens but now I'm starting to think they ain't there to be found .....or maybe they're just avoiding me.
Like I say though, "It's the thrill of the chase", and isn't it nice when you do find something good.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens  for what I told her I paid for them. pd

One thing I noticed on the weekend about this 15" Furphy is it was as heavy as the 17" Hardings we were using, the walls were about 8mm thick.

Just to give some comparisons on weight of ovens I have now.

Furphy 15" - 15.8 kilos
Cabela 20" - 21 kilos
Lodge 16" - 15 kilos
