> does anyone know of a good low-cost surface mount reflow oven?
I use a Black and Decker toaster oven I got off Amazon for $25[0] Works great, super cheap, even heating is important in cooking after all. I set the second dial on "Bake" and the third dial on "Stay on" then use a stop watch and the first dial to control the temperature according to what-ever re-flow profile I'm trying to achieve. You can tell when the oven reaches temperature by listening to the relay click noise it makes.
You can buy an add-on controller for this kind of oven called the reflowster but I don't personally think it is worth the money at $140. The stopwatch method hasn't failed me yet.
