It is definitely possible. Anything is possible. You're probably in the stall right now - which will keep the temp about the same for 2-4 hours. At 275 it will usually take 7-10 hours for an 8 pounder, but as @lousubcap always says, the cow drives the cook.
If your current trajectory is going to finish too fast, you might close down your vents just a little - and maybe get your egg to settle in about 240-250.

@Foghorn will steer you right. Are you good with the accuracy of your thermo(s)? Gotta have faith in your indications.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.
