You can smoke color-cured leaf. Some varieties aren't bad after a month or two. Most will taste raw and unfinished. But it's safe to smoke.
I would fill that Crockpot with hot tap water, then just check the feel of the leaves once a day. As long as they are somewhat pliable, they will kiln. Using less water just increases the frequency with which you have to add water again. (Don't add cold tap water to a hot, empty Crockpot.)
