Dunno if this is useful, but I find those plastic grocery bags pack
very nicely into cracks and crannies stopping drafts. Just use a
trowel, putty knife ... probably an ordinary kitchen knife would be
ideal ... to work them in.

Before you do that, take one out back and hang it from the clothesline,
twisted up all tight, and light it. (Shove it in a pipe if you want to more
closely simulate installed conditions) Most cheap plastic like that supports
flame real well, and can wick it into crevices.
