Is it possible to fix a moved tile inside a chimney. In my case its down about 10 feet. One of the tiles has moved sideways about 1" so there's no gap (yet). I was wondering if I should apply some cement or something to the jutting out edges,

Thanks!

Dean nobody gave you an answer so I give it a try. if you can get your liner past the tile forget about it if not then that tile will act as a catch all for cresote buildup and should be tapered
with cement if you can get to it. I would also worry about missing mortar at the flue joints. again if linning it is a non issue
