Go to home depot or a local Appliance Parts house and pick up a lint bucket trap.
It's a bucket that you attach the vent hose to, you fill the bucket with water and the water catches the lint.
Depending on how many loads you do would determine how often it would need skimming/refilling.

The metal tubing is used because it dissipates heat rapidly and has less chance to gather condensation. Seams up is normal practice so if any condensation occurs it doesn't drip thru the seam.
PVC loads up with condensation and it stays in the pipe.
A dryer that doubles as a toaster oven...hmmmm. I smell an idea there!
