And very few basements in NA have doors leading outside.


You should get out more. Many below ground basements have 'bilco' doors
leading outside here in the NE.
I am one of them..

Dim wit, he already HAD one of those. He mentioned it in his 1st
post. For his ELECTRIC dryer. Now he has GAS. A "filter" isn't
going to take the CO2 or CO out of the products of combustion of his
GAS burning dryer.




On another note, you say your basement is entirely below ground and
there is no path to get outside other than through the header or
window. If you don't have a door to the outside from your basement,
you have a major fire hazard.



LOTS of basements have no direct door to the outside. It is
completely legal. For this and other reasons, one is therefore not
supposed to have occupancies like bedrooms down there, but there is no
unusual hazard for 'normal' basement uses.
