I have a M&R Fusion dryer. There is no duct for air going to it. It has the exhaust and  draws its air in from the ends.
I like the idea of bring outside air to the dryer but I don't see how I can make this work with this dryer.

Electric dryers need no make up air so the small amount it's drawing should be negligible.

Not with a fusion dryer, the exhaust moves a lot more air than I thought it would.

hook up a second vent pipe from the outside that attaches to the air inlet of the dryer.

Draws outside air, not inside.

This.

The Fusion does not draw enough to be concerned with makeup air. Just a FYI.
