Last month I posted here asking about getting the pilot light to stay lit on a natural gas fireplace. I finally got around to working on it today, and discovered that it has both a thermocouple and a thermopile. Is the thermocouple more likely to be the problem than the thermopile? Should I remove the thermocouple and test it, and if it isn't good, just assume that that's the problem and replace it and leave the thermopile alone? Or are they equally likely to be at fault so that I should remove and test both? Maybe they're very easy to remove so I should just do both at the same time, but maybe not.
