Installing/sealing off a steel framed man-door

[Blk88GT]

I installed my man door in December and it was too cold at the time to spray foam it in, so I stuffed insulation between the steel frame cavity and the wall to seal it up enough so I could heat the building all winter.

Now the time has come to finalize the install, but I'm not sure what to do.

Should I remove the insulation and fill the entire void of the door frame with spray foam? I'd guess it would take ~6 cans due to the depth of the frame cavity shape.

Or can I push the insulation right into the cavity and spray foam the outside and inside edges of the frame?

Here's a couple reference pictures. The outside finish is going to be stucco and field stone.

I'm not concerned about the cost, I just want to do it right. Thanks in advance!

Push in what you have and use the expanding foam as a seal.

First you need to get the door install in an upright position.

Use the window and door spray foam and you will make less of a mess.
