For you wood furnace guys. Take an old clothes dryer with a burnt out element, whatever and run a 4" duct off of the main supply duct right off your furnace. Wrap it in duct insulation and add a blast gate (similar to on a dust collector) at the dryer end. Run the duct inside the dryer cabinet and connect it to the air intake for the heater box or gas burner, it may require some modifying to make the final connection, and duct the dryer outside like normal. Now you have a wood-heated clothes dryer! To use it just open the blast gate, put in the clothes and set the timer with no heat.
I'm not sure how it would work from a wood boiler, it really needs the scorching hot, dry air from a wood furnace.
