Have you looked at such things as H.R. Schubert, History of the British
iron and steel industry (1957) and R.F. Tylecote, History of Metallurgy
(institute of Materials, London 1992). Both have considerable detail on
smelting.
I think there is a book with a title something like medieval industry that
has a section on iron, but it is not in my personal bibliography
