Fireplace Insert Seal

[TBaumunk]

So, I've had a Quadrafire Grand Voyager wood fireplace insert for about 2 years now. It does a great job but the gaps between the cast iron decorative surround and the stone are becoming an issue with mice coming and going as well as its a tad drafty. I need to search the outside to see how they're getting in but I'd like to seal around it anyway. I tried fireplace calk but the gaps are just too big because the stone is very irregular. Any suggestions?

Block off plate and maybe a cat!

Like rob said seal it above the insert at the old damper it is much more effective way to do it.

Thanks for the advice. I thought the installers already did that but apparently if they did they didn't do a great job.
