Is it possible to have vented dryer in porch with door open?

Was thinking of getting a vented tumble dryer and having in back porch where door is always open. Would this work rather than having a pipe blowing the moisture out or is there still a need to direct the steam out using pipe?

You would probably still need the pipe, whatever the vent is pointed at would be prone to moisture damange very quickly. Would it not be easier to create a vent through the wall? Or go with a condensor/heat pump drier (or worst case, use the pipe and put it out the door when in use).

Yeah we were thinking should use the vent and point out the door. Thanks
