What a great idea! I never even though of this. Look what I found on
the internet. It seems to be just for this type of thing, with an
electric dryer. I live near Buffalo NY. I can use all the help I can
get with heat. . .

Those things have been around for 20 + years. My mom had one in Iowa. All of
the lint blows back into the house as well. Mom used old panty hose as a
filter/catcher. Her dryer was electric, and she wanted the humidity back
into the house cause of the gas furnace. It helped some, she finally
stopped using it because she had to clean it so often.
