As the title says I want my custom furnace to be functional at some point (or at least be able to leave the ores in there without them despawning 
) XD
There has been a great demand for a more 'user friendly' furnace in a more industrial manner that this would be helpful for "that person", or people. It would indeed be awesome, and I'd expect this sort of thing once Red51 nudges technology into the modern era from the Medieval era. I approve of his implementations of adding Medieval first, then modern era after that because it be weird to do it any other way.
If there's a way you can attach a stack onto a stick so you can then insert that into an oven then that would be another way to go about it. Just somehow slip the stack onto the ore oven stick, then have it dump into a smelter, then have it pop back out in molds, or something.........
It would be awesome though.
