McMaster Carr has it in various thicknesses.  I've bought it both "plain" and with 
adhesive on one side.  Make your chimney out of the plain stuff, and glue the seam 
together with a piece of the adhesive stuff.

And note it is SILICONE not silicon.  Silicon is an element that is used as a substrate 
for most semiconductor devices.  Silicones are compounds where the positions of 
Carbon atoms are taken by one or more Silicon atoms... hence, silicone rubber, 
silicone grease, silicone oil.
