I imagine putting some find of a filter at the end of the vent house would
do the trick, and direct the vent into the laundry room. Some one
mentioned that the added humidity in the room might actually make the
drying
process take longer (it need dry air). Although in my case might not be
a
problem because the room is very large (24x24). Anyone ever tried
this,
did it work good, any problems? Thanks



Years ago I just let the dryer (electric) vent into the room since there was
no way to install a vent pipe. Right away I found that a filter (nylon
stocking) was needed to help control the lint and dust; but the humidity was
not a problem. The outside temperature, house construction and number of
loads would, of course, make a difference. It's not a good idea to load
your walls up with moisture if you have many below-freezing days ahead.

Some catalogs that advertise houshold help gadgets used to show a damper
device that could be set to blow the dryer output back into the room and, as
I recall, it had a built-in filter. Maybe those are still around.
