how to start a log burner fire; top down method vs bottom up

I would prefer to call this "the great top down vs bottom up method of lighting a fire - experiment". But KZbin suggests that it seems too long. For ages I have been using the bottom up method, until a bunch of people bang on about the top down method, it makes no sense. However it could be tested. So using my go-pro and Charnwood c5 burner I thought I could scientifically measure this, and share my findings.

Heat closer to the baffle moves air up the flue quicker, burns better

So will you be using the top down method from now on?

Yes. Definitely. Bottom up works too but fewer re-lights needed. It feels like I am cheating but it works and I am a fan of "path of least resistance".
