Below you will find an overview of what a power brick is and how to remove/install one on your WiFIRE (D2) grill.
What Is a Power Brick?
Power bricks are found only on Traeger's D2 WiFIRE grills, and may be referred to as an AC adapter, plug pack, plug-in adapter, adapter block, power adapter, AC/DC adapter, or AC/DC converter.
Traeger power bricks convert AC power (what your home runs on) to DC power (what your WiFIRE grill runs on). They are used with electric devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power.
