Probably too late to help the OP, but a good alternative to a gas dryer is a ventless unit that washes and dries. It takes longer but uses a regular 120v receptacle. Our daughter has one on Oahu and loves it because she can throw in a load and come back later and it's cleaned and dry and ready to go, and no need buying gas, and no separate dryer taking up room in her tiny condo.
They used to be almost impossible to find in the USA (though very common in the rest of the world where buying two separate appliances when only one can do it seems like an insane choice) but they are finally widely available here.
Last time I looked into them, the drying cycle was done by using a heat pump which heated the clothes as they tumbled and the cold side of the pump condensed the steamy humid air back into water which goes into the drain, so no vent required, no 220v or gas required.
