Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a mouse-proof dryer vent.

I think a purpose-built food dehydrator would do better for jerky. But I admire your ingenuity.
 
You haven't lived bad smells, til yo-u start an old gas stove which has a few years of mouse urine, feces, dead bodies in the insulation - whuf.
 
Its last words: "I'm so dizzy I think I'm gonna die!"
 
the poor lil immigrant.....never could figure out how to assimilate. :(
 
Sure looks like an old Honda engine. :D

Thank Jebus I had already installed a metal-mesh-with-flap vent about 10 years ago. It keeps the dumba**es out. Your picture shows exactly what I feared when I installed the vent. Whew!

It took about an hour to install that vent. That's about a third what it took last night to find the mouse, disassemble enough of the dryer to get it out, and reassemble the dryer.

The vent has an upwards-facing air outlet inside that's topped by an inverted plastic cup that can ride up and down inside a cage of vertical rails. The air coming out of the vent pushes up the cup. When the air stops, it comes back down. Simple enough. I think it should work.

My Mom would have insisted I just go buy her a new dryer.
