I built myself a home weight room in my garage in 2020. That year, I gutted it out through July and August, but it was miserable. 2021 I bailed on lifting in July through September. I am seriously considering a small window AC unit for the coming summer.

Was alcohol involved with this idea? If you spend a fair amount of time in the garage, get a decent floor heater. We bought our house 25 years ago. 2 story. Garage faces west and master bedroom is over it. Adding insult is the a/c vent is by the window. I have a deflector on it to blow across the room. |

The concept could work but are dryers designed for this?

Certainly not gas.
Electric creates a humidity issue as was mentioned. I know of no "free" method to remove moisture from the air exiting the dryer. Seems anything that would catch condensation would be a restriction in the flow. I don't know if blowing over desiccant packs or Damp X or something would have any effect. I suppose if you caught the dryer near the end of the cycle, but you'd be chasing your tail more than you'd be getting any work done. Maybe some sort of chimney with a catch can at the bottom? The ROI shifts unless you can do it directly without intervention or conditioning of the air. The "idea" was to capture wasted heat and repurpose it. Like recycling though, it fails when it costs more than just throwing it away. |

Since your talking about just getting residual heat when actually drying clothes I wouldn't bother as it won't help much if any unless you run the dryer a ton.
I ran a space heater in small gaarage here overnight many times and took the chill out of garage easily. |

Just get an oil filled electric radiator or baseboard and be done with it....as said before this is a bad idea.
