Sparkfun has done a couple of DIY reflow projects.  Here's one:

            Hi All,



OK a customer has asked me to solder up some PCB's, no problem, apart 

from the main part a DSP in a 40 lead QFN with centre ground pad this 

sucker is 6mm Sq with 0.5mm pad centres, has anyone ever soldered one of 

these ? I am planning on using solder paste and hot air, the PCB's were 

designed by me for mass production ie reflow soldering not HAND 

soldering, I am wondering if an electric skillet would get hot enough 

and reflow it ? I could quite easily go buy one and hack the sides off 

to make a flat plate, if it could also go down to 90C I could use it as 

a heat pad for warming PCB's ready for hot air re work (a re work 

station I was looking at had pads to heat the PCB up so the hot air or 

IR worked quicker)



Regards,



Kat.
