Seal around insert stove

    Hi,

    We have a Stanley Cara insert stove a few years and I suspect it's not as efficient as it once was.

    I've noticed that there is a gap between the outer wall of the stove in places and particularly at the top.

    When I shine a torch into the gap, I can see part of the metal flu adapter (no flue liner was needed / used).

    I think it would possibly improve efficiency if I fill the gaps around the outer box.

    Fire place is random stone granite and there seems to be vermiculite blocks at the sides of the outer box

    Some loose vermiculite is around the flue in the cavity between the inner and outer box so there may be a gap allowing escape of hot air.

    Any suggestions as to what I could use to fill the gaps ? Fire resistant expanding foam would be an easy option but I don't know if it's suitable.

    Many thanks in advance.
