All the above will save you a bunch of money over a propane dryer - after all, a dryer is a device designed to heat the outside air, which we harness to dry our clothes while wasting ENORMOUS amounts of heat and energy - the average (electric) dryer uses 4kW to 5kW of electricity an hour to dry clothes ($0.60-$0.80 a load). A propane dryer is slightly less wasteful. Most people (especially with family and lots of loads of laundry) would save substantially switching to clotheslines or clothes spinner and drying racks.

Note: I own the aforementioned store Sustain Ability, in Laconia. The focus of my store is saving energy costs and reducing environmental impact.
