It can and has been done.
Here is why it is not a popular idea.
To contain the heat and direct it up a riser, you must DIY a batch core inside your box stove.
These stoves run wide open, and even a contained firebrick core will superheat your metal box unless you insulate it.

A batchbox core is not that hard to build.
A brick bell could not be easier to build.
Build a bell, stick a core inside, put a bypass gate at the top of the bell, and exit the exhaust out the bottom.

Most box stoves do not have a large enough air inlet from the factory to feed a batchbox.
By not building to specifications, not running wide open, you will have a normal creosote-making, smoky wood burner.
