One problem with dryers burning gas completely is that they
are designed to burn gas in regular air. When you vent the
dryer into the house, you use up oxygen and introduce large
amounts of carbon dioxide. Now the air that you are useng to
burn the gas has a different makeup. More CO2 is in the air
and less oxygen. So after venting the dryer into the house for
a while, the complete combustion you started with becomes
incomplete combustion. So you start producing CO as well as CO2.

Wrong.

This is why furnaces and water heaters require flues to operate.

Have fun explaining unvented natural gas room heaters.

Which burn much more gas than a drier does too.

Gee, you could just disconnect your furnace from the chimney
and it would be 100% efficient and humidify the house as well.
People used to do that when gas water heaters first came out.
Some people were OK, some got headaches, some got sick and
some died. That is where the codes came from in the first place.

Nope, those burnt coal gas, different animal entirely.

NO, they burned NATURAL gas, at least where I came from.

Bull**** when the codes first showed up.

Instructions for unvented room heaters say
to use them with a window partly open.

And those that dont bother dont die like flys. Funny that.

That acts somewhat like a chimney.

Nope, nothing like.

Same for kerosene heaters. The instructions for those
also say NOT to use them while you are sleeping.

And those that do that anyway dont die like flys.

(Wonder why???)

Mainly because of the risk of fire while asleep.

By the way, have you EVER owned or
used combustion testing instruments?

Yep.

I notice that those who are the loudest in favor of
violating codes, have never tested ANYTHING.

Dont need to test anything to realise that unvented
natural gas room heaters violate no code.

I have used combustion test equipment many times on gas and oil
burning furnaces and boilers. It is scary how many don't burn properly.

Irrelevant to how many use unvented natural gas room heaters
and who dont bother to test anything and survive fine.

Then you come along, with just an opinion

Nope, FACT that unvented natural gas room
heaters are perfectly legal and work fine.

and never having tested combustion,

That is just YOUR pig ignorant guess
which happens to be just plain wrong.

pontificating on how safe violating safety code is.

Unvented natural gas room heaters violate no code.

go get a combustion tester and CO
tester and use them on a regular basis.

Go and **** yourself.

You will learn a thing or two.

Not even possible for someone as stupid as you.
