It'll be near it by necessity, but I'll put it next to my basement doors instead - about 3 feet to the left of the vent. The vent points towards the backyard, and I'll be mounting the unit on the front side, so it'll actually be blowing away from the unit.

I wonder if I can move my dryer vent underground and heat my garage with it....?
I wish I could come up with a positive reply. Under ground would not be good either. I'm afraid we are getting too far off subject for this thread. If you know how to PM then leave me one and I will try to explain something I did that seemed to help utilize a little of the heat. Otherwise you would be asking for trouble again by putting it under ground. The cool ground would condense the humidity, leaving the inside walls very wet and cause a lint trap and a probable blockage. NOT GOOD. Not to mention, there probably wouldn't be much heat left to exit anyways.
