At present, my tumble dryer outlet goes out through the utility room wall and then vertically through an outhouse roof but because of all the recent stories about fluff catching fire, I'm trying to re-route so it runs horizontally. My only option is to vent into the garage. Would this be safe? Thanks in advance for any opinions.

Read the instructions. Never let a pipe go upwards fluff will not travel upwards. It will fall down and be blocked. Should be vented to a outside wall and lay flat with a flap on the outside wall to extract the fluff. I would pulll that hose out and wash it out leaving it to dry. That's a fire waiting to happen.
