Different family, different answer to those questions. Different
answers aren't wrong.

In my family first it got dunked in a bucket of water open end down.
Then roasted on a medium grill until the husks were almost completely
browned. The husks and silk was removed just before putting on the
plate.

At fairs I've seen them wrap in foil. I think that serves the same
function as the bucket - Keep the kernels moist as they cook.
