Hey everyone let me start off by saying that my gas fireplace is
frustrating me. I feel that I'm mechanically inclined, and can
usually figure out how to fix most household issues, but this one is
baffling me.

I have a 4 year old gas fireplace that worked fine last year, but now
the burner won't light, however the pilot lights fine. When I try to
turn the pilot adjustment knob to "ON" the pilot light goes out even
if when the pilot has been burning for 20 min (hot). The knob in
question has three settings - 1. Off, 2. Pilot, 3. On. When I flip
the wall switch, I can hear a very faint click so I think everything
is getting power and all connections seem to be secure. I also took a
closer look at the burner, and I don't see anything blocking any of
the holes, etc.

Any help and or advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Classic symptom of a bad thermocouple. Start with that because it is
cheap and easy. If no go, check for 24 V at your gas valve solenoid,
then check to see if the gas valve solenoid coil is open. If you don't
have a $9.95 Radio Shack meter to test with, now is a good time to
acquire one. Good luck.
