Plan on doing 3 racks of baby backs, potatoes and bakes beans.
How long should this take and what temp. Had planned on 5 hour no peek on ribs, but not sure if extra time should be added for beans and taters.

If I were to cook that load in my #3 I would go 240 for 4 hours then check. My unit may run hot or possibly I like my ribs done a little differently than others. I have not had a rib smoke go past 4.5 hours, some were done as early as 3.5 I like the bone to come clean but still have enough pull left in the meat to satisfy my inner caveman.
 
I agree with brian, temp 240 for 4.5 hours, if they almost fall apart there are done, if not another 30 minutes and try  agaiin.
 
Here is a couple pic's of 1st load in the smoker

BB ribs and backed potatoes take about the same time...I go 225F for 5.5 hours with the ribs and potatoes, but sometimes I can remove the potatoes at the 4 hour mark when I sauced the ribs if they feel done; otherwise, they just stay on the smoker.    Another option is to just foil the potatoes at the 4 hours mark and put them back in the smoker.
