I managed to find a box that steel box that measures 3 3/4" X 2" deep.
This looks the same as regular 1900 box but deeper. Would this work
with a dryer outlet?


For a dryer outlet you should use a two gang box. 2" deep is barely enough
room for the receptacle, but you also need a certain amount of cubic inches
for your conductors. Use 2-3.5" deep gem boxes ganged together if you want
to go flush mount. Cut the hole next to a stud. Drill two holes in the
side of the box. Use Madison bars to secure the box then shoot two screws
through your drilled holes into the stud.

Are you using 10/3 copper romex or #8 aluminum?
