Default Repair a broken CHIMINEA style patio fireplace

A friend of mine had some high winds and her patio table was blown into and
knocked over her CHIMINEA style patio fireplace. It was a fairly clean
break right where the chimney starts.

She has built a small fire in it after the accident and reports that there
is only a small amount of smoke leaking around the crack. Looking for
something simple to secure the two pieces back together. I thought of
fire clay but that might not be so simple. I would prefer something she
could do herself.

You guys aware of anything in a tube that might work? Some type of fire
caulk?

This is not a large model but I imagine it does reach a fairly high
temperature.

This page illustrates the type of product we are talking about:
