Assuming the dryer hose is vented to the outside, the longer the distance the more likelyhood there is of a lint fire.
If you are venting the dryer to under the house - don't do it. The warm air mixing with cold air will cause condensation and big expensive problems.

Why does my sump pump smell like sewage during heavy rain or like now when the snow melts?
If you have a septic system the leach lines are running at capacity and the overflow may be following the stone to the drain lines around the home into the sump pit. I am working on a solution as we speak my house smells the same way. My plan is to run an inline vent fan into the lid of my sump and vent it through the wall like a dryer.

Is the pee trap above or below the vent?
I BELIEVE: In a horizontal run, the p-trap must be below the vent. Otherwise, the vent may fill with water, creating a blockage, which would then syphon the water from the p-trap causing odors and health concerns from sewer gas. On a horizontal run, the vent must come off the run (presumably with a "wye") where the vent run is above the center line of the drainage run, thus the p-trap is lower than the vent...
Is it ok to run dryer on a non heated porch in winter?
In my experiences of having a dryer in an enclosed back porch (in the country) I had no trouble getting the clothes to dry. If you have a gas dryer it MUST be vented to the outside (if porch is enclosed). If the porch you are running the dryer from is open, the only thing I would suggest is putting some sort of mesh over the end of the exhaust vent to catch the lint from getting all over the neighborhood/yard. Hope this helps.
