Hacking an infrared cooker for pcb reflow

SadE is exploring the possibility of building a reflow oven from an IR cooker. He was able to implement a simple switching temperature control and get some initial temperature response results. A graph of his first run is below.

I received my oven 2 days ago and modified it in order to get temperature over time with an arduino board, a thermocouple, and a bluetooth module for transmission to my android phone.
You can already view the first results on my blog.
