What to use to fill gaps between bricks in fireplace (and other uses)?

Hi all

 

I have an old stone and brick fireplace and will soon be having a wood stove installed.  There are a handful of gaps between bricks, some of which are quite deep.  Would this be suitable to use to fill the gaps:

Or should I use something more specifically heat resistant?  There is of course a lot of existing mortar which I'm guessing is probably normal stuff but who knows?! 

 

Many thanks

I've asked about this in another thread over in the Stoves, Fires & Fireplaces Sub Forum (I wanted to ask some other questions at the same time):

So can this be deleted if possible please?
