how does it heat the water that flows thru the rads, ie,does it have a water tank above it?

If you purchase a woodburner with an integral boiler then you can run your radiators from it. There isn't really any way to convert your open fire into an effective wood burner. If you have a back boiler from your open fire then the hot water pipes are just redirected to the stove instead of the back boiler. Loads of wood burning stoves on ebay.

If you mean an old fashioned wood stove such as was popular in the early part of the 19th century, it heats your home by heating the air inside the stove, which when hot leaves the stove through the top of the grate on the front of the stove, while cooler air comes in thorough the same grate. Additionally, the heat on the stove surface heats by convection...just like a convection oven does.
Try the link I have added below if you are looking for opinions on this matter.

You mean wood-burning furnace?? If so, it can be linked to rads, since it simply heats the water that goes thru the rads.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/FHG7W
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.
