My father did exactly that for his house, and is quite happy with the arrangement. > That trap works well? I wouldn't want a bunch of lint everywhere, > but it sounds interesting. He uses a standard hot-air furnace filter. Since that's the kind of heat he has anyway, he just built a plywood box to hold the same size filter that the furnace uses. A circular port on the side accepts the dryer vent hose, using, I believe, a one-pound coffee can as an adapter.
