If your chimney has pulled away from the wall, then you have issues other than trying to seal the gap. You need to figure out why it happened in the first place. This might be like tring to plug a dam with a piece of gum from the out side. Call a fireplace company or talk to a stone/brick mason about it.

fire in the storage? Or greater like an oil barrel style timber range? after all, insulating the door continually facilitates which is composed of making it greater healthy actual snug so which you do no longer could desire to warmth the the remainder of the community. (you utilize much less timber that way) Mine has a a million" layer of styrofoam on the door, yet no warmth source so it nevertheless gets "numb nuts" chilly in there...the sole warmth coming off the automobile as quickly as I park it in there or from the homestead wall. for particular I paintings in there on sunny heat days

You may be able to use a flame sealant. I have never used this around a fireplace but looking at the characteristics you may be able to use Gardner's FlameStopper 5000 Flexible Intumescent Sealant. I have used this on an addition to my house, and so far, knock-on-wood, no problems. Although I haven't seen it in action yet.
