My dryer is gas, I dont really want to vent the dryer in the house or attic. Just get the heat out of the laundry room.

Thanks

Never thought about that. Are the combustion gases mixed in with the
dryer air exhaust?

No


I would say, "Not normally." However, I wouldn't stake my life on the
separation of the two.

Then where do the dryer exhaust gases go? Into the house? There is
no separate exhaust vent, the gases must go out with the air through the one
vent.



I was wrong, Gas dryers do vent the product of combustion out the
regular vent pipe. That surprises me. It actually blows flue gasses
into the drum. Yikes!
