Home Depot sells a hot air diverter that allows you to route the hot
air in or outside. It sells for ~$10 Canadian and is easy to install.
It works very well with my electric dryer. I place a piece of old
nylon stocking over the exhaust screen to filter fine lint. As the
winters in my area tend to be cold and dry, the additional heat and
humidity is welcome and I no longer need to run my furnace humidifier.
I typically minimize the amount of detergent and fabric softener used,
so the exhaust air smells clean but not overpowering.

Thanks, Marty. I've been waiting for someone to post where to get one
of those. In the winter we keep a pot of water on the stove to keep
the humidity up. Your solution will really help.

Get one while you can....mechanical code prohibits the use of these in most
areas that follow the IBC, and many stores here no longer carry them.
Thankfully...
