To get even better use out of the heat from a fireplace stove, you can replace the chimney with an accumulation ring or lay half-rings around the chimney.

They also lower the temperature and the volume of flue gases; but above all, they utilize residual heat.
Mixtures
Here’s a look at the properties of the mixtures that we typically use when manufacturing accumulation rings and half-rings:
