Why do you need a double 30A pole for an electric dryer if you only have one pole left in your box?

The dryer is 220VAC. You need a double pole breaker to get 220 out of a home breaker panel. Perhaps you should contact an electrician who understands wiring so that you don't burn your house down.

How do you convert from electric clothes dryer to gas clothes dryer?
The only practical way to do that would be to sell the electric clothes dryer and use the proceeds toward purchase of a gas dryer.

If you mean converting the building, then you would need to have natural gas plumbing installed, and you would need an outlet that matches the voltage of the new dryer.

For a gas dryer in the US you will need a 120 volt outlet to plug into. The old electric dryer was 220 volts so that outlet cannot be used as it is currently. Second, you will need to have a gas line run to the site of the new dryer. That should be it.
