I plan to smoke some beef short ribs in a rack. Not cut to individuals. 

How long should i smoke it to get it to be soft, fork tender, right before fall off the bone?

4-2-1?

Start with 3-2-1. Check them before foiling. Then once in the foil check them at the 1.5 hour mark.

If you don't want to foil, plan on 5-6 hours and check them at 4.5, then every 1/2 hour after that.

I always go around 250 degrees, no foil at all, until probe tender or around 195 degrees internal temp. Beef short ribs are easy and forgiving in my opinion.
