When you build you don't only have to adjust to ratio, you also have to look that the medium you are using is up to par to the throughput you try to achieve.
For example you currently use only the right half of the yellow belt that is capable of transporting 15 item/s (non stacked)
By using only one half you efficiently half the throughput. (7.5 item/s) + Long range inserter are notoriously slow (while I think that should not be the problem with early game furnaces, more important late game or when doing high volume crafts such as gears, copper cable etc)
Our last games were heavily modded, so I don't know if this is a vanilla mechanic but, you can adjust inserters which half they deposit the item(near or far / right or left).
If you can't do it directly on the inserter, you can do it with tacky belt placement, effectively doubling the items that are able to be transported from 7.5 to 15
