I did successfully attach the BGA using a $20 toaster oven.  I used a 
MAX6675 thermocouple to SPI converter connected to the parallel port of 
my laptop along with a relay to switch the power to the oven.  I set the 
oven on broil and got mostly infrared heating.  I can post the 
temperature profiles if anyone is interested.
