I have a Quadra fire 5700 and im curious as to if i can use a slotted ash grate in place of the solid cover that comes with it? mainly for the simplicity of not having to remove the cover and rather just opening the trap door and rake the ash through into the ash pan.

Nope. The ash pan isn't sealed well enough for that
