My Heat-n-Glo fireplace wont ignite. I just replaced the thermopile, and it dident solve the problem. The Pilot light works fine. When I flip the button to turn it on noting happens. Any idea what would cause the main burner from igniting?

The pilot or burner could be clogged or the regulator isn't working. Are you sure you have gas and that it's on?
Yes,the gas shut off valve is on. I'm thinking that the problem is with the electric valve that opens when you turn it on. I guessing that its stuck closed, due to lack of use. Is there anyway I could take this valve off and test it or excersise it?
Gas stove
My stove has a remote thermostat that I just replaced for the same problem. Sounds as though yours has an on/off switch on the stove. Could you take the switch off and connect the 2 wires and see if it goes on. If so, the switch is the problem, if not you've at least ruled that out.
Have you tried inspecting the circuit breaker or the gas valves? I also read an article by Hurliman Heating about troubleshooting the gas fireplace that can help you solve your problem. After troubleshooting your gas fireplace, I recommend you ask for a professional from this company that I usually call when I have HVAC system issues.
