I have some orange wood I've yet to use but the first thing I want to try with it is chicken.

I have only one suggestion for your orange wood; anything! Or, you can send it all to me and I'll take care of it for you!

I have a whole chicken that i'm doing for a going away party. Maybe thats what i'll use it for!!!

Another that I think would be very good is a stuffed pork loin in orange wood. I'm sure anything would be good with orange wood but I think the loins and chickens are where I'm gonna start personally

I've used plenty of orange zest on beef, so smoking it over orange wood might be interesting. It's supposed to be a mild wood, so definitely do some poultry at some point. For beef and pork, you might supplement it with some oak.

I've used Osage Orange wood for chicken & pork with good results. 1 word of caution it burns very hot so keep an eye on your thermo.

i'd agree with that, any kind of poultry and pork. its alot like peach but alittle different that i just cant put my finger on
