OET (OET-RV) Then they must call to their god and I’ll call to Yahweh, and the god who answers by setting the wood on fire must be the true God.”
¶ “It sounds good to us,” the people answered.

call on the name of your god … call on the name of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and,call in/on=name_of god,your_all's and,I call in/on/at/with,name YHWH and=it_was the=ʼElohīm which/who answers in/on/at/with,fire he/it the=ʼElohīm and,answered all/each/any/every the,people and=they_said good the,word )
“Name” is metonymy for the reputation and honor of someone and “calling on” him represents an appeal. Alternate translation: “call to your god … call to Yahweh”
all the people answered and said, “This is good.”

18:23-24 The Lord’s presence was attested by fire (Exod 9:23; 19:18; 40:38; Deut 4:24; 2 Chr 7:1; Isa 66:15; Amos 7:4), which could have been lightning (cp. Ps 18:12-13; Ezek 1:13-14; Zech 9:14). The contest would demonstrate whether the Canaanite storm-god Baal or the God of Israel was the true God; only the true God could set fire to the wood (cp. Lev 9:24).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
