The leaf had a hard life it was probably dried or at least a bit dried during Wilting, I'd say the 2 Slow Cookers ran out of water also during wilting. I've consider the Cozy Can, the only places I can see these Galvanized Steel Bins there selling them for about $75 USD, I'm broke could probably afford it but I'm also not paying $75 USD for a steel bin, maybe I can find a 2nd hand bin.
There would be a much cheaper alternative if a steel garbage bin is beyond your means - a 209 litre drum (US. 55 gallons). You can get these with a beaded fitting lid - even with a clamp if you wish. I used to deal in these and I could buy them for the price of scrap metal.
However, bearing in mind that I, too, am a beginner when it comes to flue-curing (and with all due respect to the 'inventor') I cannot see how, the 'Cozy Can' is anything more than a 'science fair' project.
You simply can't get enough material into it. I know that, in my case it just couldn't keep up with the ripening of the crop.
