A big NO.
That's not to say I didn't do it last year before I learned why I shouldn't . . . i.e. damage to the stove parts and risk of flashback.
Now I find that while keeping the woodbox door ajar isn't as quick as the ash pan door . . . it still does the trick and is a lot safer and better for the stove . . . and it teaches one patience.
