To smelt something you click the boxes in the furnace gui
the top box will allow you to put stuff to smelt
and the bottom will be your fuel
hope this helped.
I made an account to comment in this thread. I've been suffering from the same glitch too. Can't smelt anything in the furnace which makes the game a little... difficult.
I did have a look around before posting here but it appeared all furnace glitches were mostly resolved in 2013ish. Has anyone else come across this? It's getting frustrating not being able to cook food or smelt iron lol

I'm actually having the issue where it won't let me make charcoal. Can put a log in the bottom, not the top.
Keep in mind... Furnaces / Chests / Crafting tables / etc... won't engage if you are in a crouch.
Don't know if this is a bug, but it confused me for a while.
