It all depends if you have a gas or electric dryer.
An electric dryer can be vented inside, but a Gas dryer must be vented outside to prevent Carbon Monoxide from building up in the home. Carbon Monoxide, also called the "silent killer" is produced anytime a gas appliance burns gas to produce heat.
Also, venting inside will cause a high humidity level in the room where the dryer is located, possibly causing damage to walls, and other items in that room.

It will heat up the place..put a old panty hose on the back to collect the lint. Not sure how safe it is but know a ton of people that do it...however I wouldnt run the dryer when out just to be safe.

no! run it outdoors if possible, if not then run vent hose to bucket of water and keep it full of water. you can find the hook-ups at most hardware stores.the lint produced by your dryer is very flammable.also your humidity level will increase greatly.if you can run it thru an ext. wall then do it.

You need to keep them clear of lint, a build up can cause a fire. Just read the instructions and follow them.
