Though this is an old thread I could add something.
Back in the day, we used to make up a stove cement for patching leaks in wood and sawdust burners from softwood ash and rock salt, about 1:1. Wet ash to make a paste, add salt and knead, let sit, knead again several times. This sets hard, rigid, doesn't shrink, and doesn't seem to corrode stovepipes etc.
