The thermocouple should be in the flame.
If you have a pilot light, it should be in that flame. Although, is sounds like you don't have a pilot light.
It might look like a skinny pencil with a wire attached. The wire goes to a gas control valve. When it gets hot, the thermocouple generates a small voltage, and that voltage causes the gas control valve to open and flow gas.
