If you are running .01 as claimed, then this could be pathfinding problems. Try with .03?

I'll try that. As soon as I figure out how to patch the game without loosing my saves, and how to modify the tileset without waiting for Mayday to add the entire program to the download. Haven't been able to find this info.

You don't have to "patch the game," you install the new version in a separate location and then just copy/paste your /data/save folder. The tileset shouldn't matter for checking whether the jobs show up.

The smelting jobs for pig iron and steel as well as most alloys and all jobs at a kiln, are 'reactions.' The jobs won't show up as available on the workshop unless the materials are available.

For example, the option for pig iron will not show up unless you have iron bars, flux stone, and coke available. Check the wiki if you're not sure about exactly what you need for each reaction.

If that's not the problem, have you been messing with burrows? If so, check if you issue is actually

Yes, that's the problem. Deleting the burrow fixed it. Thanks.

I tried looking for "smelter" with the search engine, but didn't find that thread.
