Default is venting your dryer to the house O.K in winter?

Nonsense! The byproducts of proper gas combustion is CO2 and water

CO is not an issue unless something is wrong with the dryer.


Isn't that the point? You can't be certain something won't go wrong
with the dryer and it might end up being too late by the time you find
that out, or your heirs find out...


Yaaaa, and who knows, maybe your roof will malfunction and fall on
you... After it happens it'll be too late to do anything....

For the only mildly paranoid, a CO detector will handle the
contingencies.

Every winter I divert my dryer indoors through a homemade HEPA filter
- several automotive air cleaners stacked on top of each other. The
heat is useful, as is the humidity. Cheaper than running a humidifier
all the time.

My dryer is in my large bathroom. I usually throw a load in to dry
before I shower. It's nice to step out to a nice humid, warm room.


I hope it's an electric dryer. I want to get up there and try some of your
BBQ
