I'm a noob with minecarts.

I'm also trying to make my magma forges using them.

I've got a pile of minecarts full of magma scooted up to where I want my magma forges, but I'm pretty clueless as to the exact steps I'd need to do to actually dump them out in to the channel.

What is the minimum needed for me to be able to dump my two minecarts worth of magma into a channel, and how do I go about it? I've already got track stops built and set to dump in the correct direction, but I'm unsure how to use the routes menu to actually put the minecarts on those track stops and get them to jettison their magma into my channel.

Diagrams, pictures, and keybinds are all welcome.
