I have a washer and dryer in downstairs bathroom and in winter I feel

disconnect the outside vent and send the output (through the old
pantyhose filter) into the house?
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.
Ask you local fire department about people using their ovens and stoves
for heating and the results.
