Here's my cheapskate stove top reflow rig:
- 1/4" aluminum slab
- 2 aluminum backing trays
- thermocouple
Heat aluminum slab to 160C - gently, it should be stable at 160C or only slowly increasing.
Add tray with PCB and temp probe inside, cover with 2nd tray, wait till PCB reaches 160C
Wait another minute or so, then turn up the heat to max.
Wait till PCB reaches 220, then take tray off the stove (don't bump it or you'll get SMD salad).
Let it sit to cool down, season to taste.
Propably not compatible with SWMBO
