Flue temp would most likely not be affected by drum temp...just the duration of the burn would be shorter.

That is certainly true of a gas drier - they are not sophisticated
burners by any stretch of the imagination - and electric driers , for
the most part, have only a cycling switch to control temperature as
well. SOME higher end units MAY have a 2 or 3 stage heat control -
with the element tapped either in the center for 2 stage, or
off-center for 3 stage. 2 stage would be off, half, or full. 3 stage
wouuld be off, small "half", Large "half" or bothI am not aware of any
current electric drier using either method of heat control.
