Front or back when loading?

Ok I've heard CB burn better when loaded in front next to door.How about Hardy owners is there a preference front or rear of fire box?I always load tight to rear.Any opionions ?

I am not too familiar with Hardy's but with our CB 6048, we always load to the front. Why would you load it in the rear on any stove? You would be right below the chimney and you would lose heat.
