If the one that shows up at your house is actually a "20070511", according to this old Lowes ad I found, it should be a Gen #1.So I proactively called Masterbuilt and they now have my hopes up, again, that I will be getting a Gen 1. They told me that the Sportsman Elites are now product # 20070511, which is a Gen 1 and the # that Cabela's said it was. I really hope that this is correct.
