I am sorry, but there is insufficient information to give a proper answer. If it is a vented logset, is it in a vented indoor firebox/fireplace or an outdoor fireplace?

Pilot on my gas furnace won't stay lit

Try cleaning the thermocouple tip if you can see ashes or any buildup on it. If you know the wind isn't blowing it out (had mine blow out from high winds before) then I would change the thermocouple before anything else.

The wind keeps on blowing out pilot light in the Intertherm Gas Furnace

The wind is probably not the culprit here. You probably have a crack in the heat exchanger, which allows the air from the blower to escape and blow out the pilot light.

What makes the flame and pilot goes out about five minutes

wind, if there is any wind getting in your flu it will blow out your pilot light
which heats the thermo coupling and keeps your gas valve open its a safety device so if pilot blows out gas valve shuts down so as not to leak gas hopes this helps

Gas fireplace wont stay lit- it is a sealed unit so can taccess the pilot or gas holes in the logs. is it safe to remove glass panel?

Yes, removing the glass is safe, if you do it carefully, so as not to break it. Put it well out of your way, after removing it. In fact, removing it is the only way to access and service the Pilot Assembly and the Burners.

If the pilot won't stay lit, there are several things that can cause this on a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace:
  • The direct vent on the outside of the house is block or clogged.
  • Wind is blowing back through the direct vent, blowing out the pilot.
  • Low gas pressure
  • A dirty pilot.
  • The thermocouple and/or Thermopile (part of the pilot assembly) has failed.
If you can provide me with the make and model number of your gas fireplace, I may be able to furnish you with an Owners Manual, that will help you to continue to troubleshoot the problem.

Hope this helped you.

Take notice of the wind conditions when it goes out. If there is a draft, the wind can come in the room with the water heat from the flue and blow it out. Or it can come in the room from another way and exit from the flue and blow it out.

Improper airflow.
Check to see that there are no obstructions in the exhaust flue.
Make sure the inducer fan is operating and the blades are intact. (if your unit is equipped with a draft inducer motor.)

Flame rollout can also be cause by cracked heat exchangers when the blower kicks on, or from wind blowing into the flu in reverse.

(Bad/missing wind deflector outside on top of flue, or unusually gusty wind in unusual angles.)
