Ran across this last night, the guys at sparkfun have a new tutorial on how to reflow using a $30 hot plate from Target and claim that the $20 model would probably be an even better choice. Surface mount soldering for $20! And they claim the results are comperable to hot air stations and better than the $2300 industrial reflow oven they purchased.
