First it violates code in most areas.

Really?

Yep. Besides lint, there is some out gassing of some of the non-natural
fabric. If antone in your house is slightly allergic, that allergy will
come out FAST.

Second if it is a gas dryer there are gas fumes going into the house.

CO detector: $30. If it's not a gas dryer, you get only heat.

CO detectors sold inth e box stores are UL 2039 detectors. Read their alarm
points. Something like 30 ppm for 8 hours before thay alarm?

Third the moisture it generates will be very localized and could allow
mold growth.

Added humidity is generally good in the winter.


True, but not like that....

fourth, it will put a lot of lint into the house, as some
lint will still get through both the dryer lint filter as well as your
homemade filter.

Add an A/C filter (or a part of one): $1.00

AC filter? I thought the OP wanted heat? If you mean the blue filters,
they ain't worth spit....

I have seen it done, there has always been a lot of
lint around the discharge.

Conversely, how much lint does one see at the usual discharge outlet?

Quite a bit. You should see where an AC unit is close to the dryer vent.

Seems like a good idea, but it is not.

Total cost to handle any downside problems: $31.00. Savings on heating
bill:
unknown, but not insignificant.

But medical bills and funeral expenses may be higher.
