How many pieces do I actually need in a grilling tool set?

Across specialist communities, the recurring advice is that a good pair of locking tongs and a sturdy spatula handle the vast majority of grilling tasks. Large 20-to-31-piece kits look impressive as gifts, but reviewers in grilling forums repeatedly note that most of the extra pieces (corn holders, multiple skewers, brushes) go unused, and several flag the bigger cases as heavy and impractical.
