First, do not consider this for a gas dryer.



This question comes up often and one of the answers is *NO* if it's a
gas dryer. Gas ovens/stove tops 'vent' into the house. What's the
difference in the fumes from 3 hours of turkey roasting or some time
drying clothes with each appliance venting into the house? I know the
turkey smells better... Fumes is Fumes. Bake a cake for for an hour (or
whatever) or dry clothes for an hour?
I'm not saying that venting the gas fired dryer into the house is a good
thing, I just want to understand the rational of those who say don't do
it. Thanks.
