Need a toaster for a reflow oven

[Derek Sigler]

It is time to make a reflow oven for the space.  Our pico balloon boards (see attached) are really too small to do by hand.  Does anyone have a zero to lightly used oven to donate?

Thanks,

I've no oven to donate, but I do recall from prior research needing to be picky about the brand/model of toaster oven to use.  Some couldn't get up to temperature.

Sparkfun gave this Oster a pretty thorough rundown.

Looks like the Make article involves a control module built around a Black & Decker.

there'a rough looking toaster oven at the space that may or may not be slated for such a project.

there's also a hotplate somewhere that has been previously used for "bake and shake" desoldering and may also suffice for reflow.

Correct.  Seems a dual element 1500W oven is the best candidate.

I have one At Home that has broken.  It was a Pretty decent Oven, and Likely only needs some love to get it going again.   It lost it's Counter-space and won't get that love here.  I can bring it in tonight if you want it to play with.

I know the brown mini oven I brought in had been used for powder coating a few small items. Not sure if it made the move.

I could build those by hand- I do so at work.
