This mod adds 3 tier of furnaces named "universal furnaces" you have to research to use.

The universal furnaces have inner chest and filter inserter to store unfinished recipes thanks to the superpower of artificial intelligence programmed in your electronic boards.

Now with universal furnaces, you can do mixed furnaces lines for copper, iron, steel, stone or whatever other mods add.

There are three versions of the legacy furnaces. They work exactly as their equivalent except they never get stucked !
Each is made of the corresponding furnace + a chest + a filter insert + electronic boards
Here is a comparative with mixed input. The legacy furnaces get stucked very fast.
I have made the showcase in my language but be sure the mod is translated in correct english.

Problem -> solution. Nice.

Whats the difference to vanilla?

I already suggested (and they implemented it already) that you can have multiple ores and the furnace only picks up whats already inside (so it doenst clog up)? Only doesnt work for steel bc it could take 1 iron ore while copper ore is sitting on belt.

Yes, it does work for steel in pure vanilla games with no recipe multipliers and vanilla recipes

Added to my todo list : universal furnaces recipes have to be be reordered in the recipe menu.

OK they are now in a tidy order in the item menu.
