When I look at the actual ceramic part, if there are a few small black specks does that mean I have stuff growing and should replace?

No need to worry about the black specs. The ceramic element will accumulate foreign particles from time to time. If you're still concerned, follow the cleaning instructions in your owners manual. Remember it's better you're seeing these specs than not. At least they're on the outside. Here's the owner's manual just in case you don't have one: http://media.cascadedesigns.com/pdf/msr_miniworks_ex_manual_en.pdf
