Default Unused chimney as a source of heat loss? Solution?

I have a traditional brick chimney which I no longer
use as I have switched to a high efficiency propane
furnace (so the smoke goes out through a small pipe).

Insulate around it as best you can and be sure to cap the top and block the
base to prevent air from moving in or out.

What is the best way to cap the top?
