Yes and no. Yes, you can do it, no you need a good fan
(not the usual ones you get at hardware shops) and some
experience how to do it.

It's in my opinion easier to get a small electronics oven
(like the one sold by elektor) and solder the BGA in there.
Although other people report that using a normal kitchen oven
works well for them, i do not recomend that as you have hardly
any control on the temperature curve.

Alternatively, use a soldering fab to solder the BGA and solder
the rest yourself.
