It would be craftable by surrounding a bucket of lava with Naurite on the Mordor crafting table, and would be usable as a fuel that causes items to smelt twice as fast. (It would last as long as lava.) I am not all-in for this double smelting speed - perhaps there should be some sort of drawback of using Orc-Fire? I am not sure what this drawback would be. ​​​

​​​​​​Please do not take this as criticism of the whole thread; this thread/suggestion is AMAZING.

Perhaps Orc fire could be so unstable it would have a chance of burning through the furnace if used as fuel. Or perhaps it could have smelt the items faster but have a decent chance of burning your items to a crisp. Hence a trade off. Faster smelting, but the likelihood you won't get all you "paid" for.
