Wrong. Makes good sense if it's electric.


The exhaust from a dryer, electric or gas, comes from air blown over the
heating device. If a flame starts from lint blowing over the heating device,
that fire is ejected out the exhaust pipe. If there is anything flammable
anywhere near the exhaust, you've got yourself a homeowners claim at best
and you can guess the worst.
