A passive heating and drying conduit system enabled through integration into a modified oven door.
Through moderate modification of the oven doors currently being manufactured by General Electric, a conduit system could be integrated which would permit the passive flow of heated air (or active flow, if the convection function has been chosen) through the conduit when the oven is in use. This would allow for damp cloth items, primarily dish towels and dish drying mats based on their everyday kitchen use, to be warmed and dried without the need for further energy expenditure. This conduit system would become warm but not hot, as it would serve as the oven door handle as well.
