Hello all, I like to know what would be the most effective - as in quick,
reliable, and cheap way to desolder all of the through-hole components from
large (12x12 in, FR-2) boards.

I'm currently using a propane torch and pliers to remove components,
basically this consists of holding the board over the torch and tugging on
the selected competent with pliers. This usually results in setting fire to
the board several seconds before the components solder melts completely.

This is rather slow and produces quite a bit of smoke, what could I do to
streamline the process and do less damage ? (methods of heating, component
removal techniques, tools, etc)
