Popping noise on startup and noise gas valve?

Hey all, I have a new Burnham 5SIN gas steam boiler, installed 10/12. I have recently noticed that upon startup of the boiler, I can hear "popping" sounds coming from the boiler itself. It goes away in about a minute. I am one of the individuals who started using the Steammaster tablets a couple of months ago and I am wondering if the chemicals are causing the rust/dirt to clump at the bottom of the boiler, potentially causing the noise? Chris, Gerry, any thoughts on this? I'll probably drain the water and try running a bit with "straight" water and see what happens.
Second concern, when Tstat calls for heat, I can hear the vent damper open and then I can hear two separate "thunks" that I can trace to the gas valve opening. Mind you, I have my "office" located directly above the boiler. I have put rubber around the places where the pipe goes through the hangars and it's cut down on the noise a bit. Is this noise normal?
Thanks again!
