Derek I have the Kangaroo base 8 inch oven as well.
I don't think that they were too rare and by all counts there should be thousands of 'em about.

G'day Derek, that's me that has the 8" Kangaroo Furphy oven, I also have a 14" Kangaroo Furphy, both have 'roos on the base of the pot and a KSC for Kangaroo Stove Company stamped (?) on the lid along with Furphy heavily cast.

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

Going back to SBB's comment. Have you ever seen or heard of a straight Kangaroo Camp Oven without Furphy on it.

This is all very intriguing.

No I haven't and as far as age goes my guesstimate would be they were made in the 90's, not before or after.

Google searches for " Kangaroo Stove Co' " "Kangaroo Foundry"
dont reveal anything about The Kangaroo stove Co.
For that matter has anyone ever seen or heard of a Kangaroo Stove?????
Kangaroo stoves do come up in internet searches but they are small propane fueled camp stoves. Hardly relevant.

Could it be that the Kangaroo Stove Co was invented by furphy as a marketing gimmick?????? but then if that was the case why would they put Furphy on the product as well????

Three different 15 inch Furphy lids.........are there more out there and do we have photos?????

Lid A Marked Furphy "15" This Oven was bought new from a local camping store in approx 1988. From memory they stocked a full range of sizes at that time.

Lid B Marked Furphy "15" 93
Might be interesting to see what dates are out there....when did they begin and end ????

Lid C Marked Furphy "15" 89 Furphy in curved writting..... date and size on same side of lid......pinched this photo from Dereks for sale .......

I'm pretty sure that I have seen a Kangaroo Stove Company cast iron stove on ebay not that long ago. I will ckeck it out and see if I can find it. Let's not forget the water fountain that also has Kangaroo Stove company on the base as well as the Kangaroo stamp on top of the lid.
I showed a photo of an 11" Furphy camp oven not so long ago that had all the hallmarks of the E & G Foundry camp ovens which is completely different to any I have seen before it could be the missing link. Don't suppose you could find that Derek so we can have a look.
