I have an Englander stove and never shut it down while refilling. I would not own a stove that had to be shut down while adding pellets.
The Englander stove I have 25pdvc temporarily shuts down the top auger (pellet feed) while the hopper door is open. Stove reverts to full operation when lid is closed.

Depends. Newer stoves have a tool limit switch on the hopper lid. I use two Englander stoves to heat our home. What works for me is, I bought two pellet sculls. These each hold half of a bag ,or 20 lbs. of pellets. Using these to fill my stoves is faster easier and cleaner. Fast enough to beat the time delay set for the hopper switch.
