I will probably hook this dryer up to its own 40lb LPG tank and use it only during the warmer months.
Since dryers are inefficient I will help this one by:
1 putting it out in the garage, so it's not sucking up air conditioned air, just to heat it up, blow it out side then draw in hot outside air into the house.
2 LPG is expensive so I will likely help my dryer by drawing hot air from the top of the inside of garage's roof.
I have scales to know how much LPG each load uses. I would like to to a before and after comparison of the hot air intake. And a winter versus summer comparison.
The electric dryer will be used in the winter and just vented into the house.

Sounds like a heat pump dryer would be a better fit for you.
