Hook and ladder makes sense but smoke and ladder has no meaning at all to me. The goal for a business name is not to make you feel good about what you do but to put a picture into the minds of your customers and stay memorable for them. I would not use either of those names. Neither one is making me hungry or pictures food I would want to eat. Hook an ladder works if you are going to cater to fire fighters. I am a part time firefighter so it would be a cool hang out for the guys in the department but fairly meaningless for the general public. I would seriously look for a name which creates a picture in the mind of your customers. That is how you pick successful business names. You could always just put the Maltese cross in the logo with your department number in it if you want to personalize it. Smoked and Fired bar b q All fired up bar b qWhere there is Smoke there s fire bar b q Fire lighters bar b qNot nec good names but just to show you can still find names with subtle references to fire fighting and still have a bar b q business goal pictured as well.
