City Bonfires Founder Appears on Shark Tank With New Innovation

Watch the Shark Tank Season 17 promotional video that includes Chris McCasland and his wife Tiffany as they pitch The Chair Blanket™, a patent-pending outdoor chair cover designed for ultimate comfort.

Chris McCasland, founder of City Bonfires, appears on Shark Tank Season 17  with this newest outdoor comfort innovation under his new company, The Chair Blanket™.

Best known for building City Bonfires into a nationally recognized outdoor lifestyle brand, Chris returns to television with a new product designed to solve a simple but universal problem — uncomfortable outdoor seating.

From City Bonfires to Shark Tank

City Bonfires was launched in 2020 with a mission to bring people together through simple, portable fire experiences. Since then, the brand has:

• Sold millions of units nationwide
• Appeared on major national television networks
• Built partnerships with national retailers
• Created viral outdoor product moments

Now, Chris McCasland is back in the spotlight — this time inside the Tank.

His newest venture with his wife, Tiffany, The Chair Blanket™, was developed to enhance outdoor experiences in the same spirit as City Bonfires: comfort, connection, and family moments.

What Is The Chair Blanket™?

The Chair Blanket™ is a patent-pending, chair cover designed to instantly transform cold, wet, or dirty outdoor chairs into warm, comfortable seating.

Key features include:

• Waterproof, weather-resistant backing
• Ultra-soft fleece lining
• Elastic stretch fit for most outdoor chairs
• Built-in carry bag for portability

Like City Bonfires, the product is rooted in outdoor living — tailgates, fire pits, youth sports games, camping trips, and backyard gatherings.

Why Shark Tank?

Shark Tank highlights innovative, consumer-focused businesses with strong traction and real-world demand.

Chris’s appearance represents:

• A continuation of the entrepreneurial journey that began with City Bonfires
• A new chapter under his company The Chair Blanket™
• A scalable outdoor comfort product expanding beyond fire experiences

Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 12 features cranberry wellness shots; a cozy chair cover; shoelaces that stay tied; kitty litter made from olive pits; Fawn Weaver guest judges.

(Episode details available through ABC and official streaming platforms.)

The Connection Between City Bonfires and The Chair Blanket

While City Bonfires and The Chair Blanket operate under separate brands, they share a common philosophy:

Elevate outdoor experiences.

City Bonfires makes the fire.
The Chair Blanket makes the seat comfortable.

Together, they represent a broader outdoor comfort ecosystem built by the same founder.

Chris McCasland: Entrepreneur and Outdoor Product Innovator

Chris McCasland is the founder of City Bonfires, a portable fire brand that gained national traction for its simple, clean-burning tabletop fire products.

After scaling City Bonfires, Chris identified another overlooked problem in outdoor living:

Outdoor chairs are often cold, damp, and uncomfortable.

The Chair Blanket™ was created as a practical solution — engineered specifically to fit chairs and protect against moisture and debris while delivering fleece-lined comfort.

The appearance on Shark Tank marks a milestone in Chris’s ongoing entrepreneurial journey.
