Despite having something like 300 bars of charcoal, much of it visible in my stockpile, (I checked), my magma smelters are giving me a "no fuel" error when I ask for steel. They have magma, I've been using them for years.

If the magma beneath the smelters has drained away somehow, there might not be enough to fuel them. Please note that they need at least 5/7 magma below one of the open tiles leading to it.
Otherwise, you might have found a bug.

There is a known bug with burrows that causes problems with reactions (like steelmaking); try removing any burrows over the smelter or issuing the job through the manager interface.

Plenty of magma, I've got an open tap to a volcano, just a single 6 fluttering around infuriating me for nigh on three years now. I reset the burrows, no dice, nobody's on burrow restriction or anything.

Moving the charcoal from my bar/block stockpile to my ore stockpile changed it for a few months, now I have a stone stockpile full of charcoal and a bunch of smelters reading no fuel. Going to switch it back, see if it restarts it again.

Do you have any burrows overlapping the smelters? Whether _dwarfs_ are restricted to them doesn't matter, the burrows directly restrict the _smelters_.

At least that's how i understand this bug:

You might try resetting your burrows so they _exclude_ the smelters and see how that works.
