Well if your talking a gas fireplace it is done the same as a hot water tank.
You hold down the gas button and light the pilot and hold button down for one minute
and then release the button ,if the pilot stays lite your set if not you need too do it again. If you hold the button down for 3 minutes and the pilot does not stay lite then the thermocoupler is bad.
If you mean by this question, "How do I stop the cold draft in the Winter I feel coming from the fireplace?", then I have an answer.
Reach up into the chimney throat from inside the firebox and find a wrought iron lever to close the fireplace flu. This alone will stop a good deal of the cold air seeping into the room by way of the chimney. Remember to open this flu again if you wish to build and light a fire in the fireplace. If you do not plan on any fireplace use you may find a greater ability to stop the cold draft by fixing a non flammable piece of insulation (fiberglass) in the throat of the flu before closing it..
While a fireplace and the crackling fire within it can be attractive and comforting when there is a chill in the air, there is no good purpose served in these modern times by the 16th Century Fireplace. Consider closing it up altogether.
The Fireplace insert goes directly into the opening of the fireplace. Thankfully, this task is very easy and can be completed by many homeowners who use fireplace inserts.
