I have a SMD Soldering FAQ at:

http://204.210.50.240/techref/default.asp?url=smds.htm

That may be of assistance. I use an old internally regulated Wahl Iso-Tip
and other have used everything from huge automotive welding irons (I'm not
kidding!) to $1K professional soldering stations so I think it has more to
do with practice and developing a method that works for you.
