Smokers and pellet grills can help you make delicious meals right in your own backyard. But before you dive in head first, be sure to avoid these common backyard smoker mistakes.Buy greenish-yellow bananas instead. These will ripen over the course of a few days, giving you more time to use them.Bananas stored inside a bag will ripen faster, since the bag will hold in ethylene gas and speed up ripening.Divide your bananas, and wrap the stems individually to get the maximum shelf life.Store bananas upside down in a bowl to protect the fruit from bruising.Hanging bananas from a hook will ensure that they're exposed to proper airflow, and that helps their shelf-life.If you notice that bananas are reaching the point of no return, refrigerate them without a bag to buy a few more days
