How long is it safe to keep ribs out of the refrigerator for prepping before you get them on the smoker?
Max time for ribs to be out for prepping?

I prep them and put them back in the fridge (unwrapped) while I heat up the grill or smoker of choice.
If they do sit out it's not long enough to get to room temp.

"KNOWLEDGE ARTICLE
Leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the "Danger Zone."
Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90 °F, food should not be left out more than 1 hour."
