Here in Ottawa you can get fireclay at Home Depot as well. Go to the section where they have firebrick and other accessories for home wood burning stoves. You might have to wait a few weeks until the "fall" stuff comes back on the shelves.
You could also look for refractory cement. A commercially (contractor) oriented brick supply business might have bags of it. I did find a 40lb bag here in Ottawa but only after going to one of these contractor supply outlets. And then it took the yard guys almost 15 minutes to find it. Not much demand for it here so it was buried in a back corner. Places like Home Depot won't or generally don't carry such specialty material.
