Watch the Shark Tank Season 17 promotional video featuring Chris and Tiffany McCasland as they pitch The Chair Blanket™, a patent-pending outdoor chair cover designed to keep seats warm, dry, and comfortable.
Chris McCasland — best known as the founder of City Bonfires, the nationally recognized portable fire brand — appears on Shark Tank Season 17 alongside his wife Tiffany to introduce their newest outdoor comfort innovation under their company The Chair Blanket™.
The appearance marks a new chapter in the founders’ entrepreneurial journey, bringing their latest product to millions of Shark Tank viewers.
From City Bonfires to Shark Tank
Chris McCasland first gained national recognition after launching City Bonfires in 2020, a portable tabletop fire pit designed to bring people together around simple outdoor moments.
Since launch, City Bonfires has:
• Sold more than 1 million units nationwide
• Appeared on major national television networks
• Partnered with leading retailers and brands
• Built a viral outdoor lifestyle product with hundreds of millions of views online
Now the founders are returning to television — this time inside the Shark Tank — to introduce their next innovation.
What Is The Chair Blanket™?
The Chair Blanket™ is a patent-pending chair cover and blanket in one, 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
• Stretch-to-fit elastic backing for most chairs
• Built-in carry bag for portability
The product is designed for real outdoor life — including:
• Tailgates
• Backyard fire pits
• Youth sports games
• Camping trips
• Outdoor concerts
• Patio gatherings
Like City Bonfires, the product focuses on making outdoor moments more comfortable and enjoyable.
Why The Chair Blanket Appeared on Shark Tank
Shark Tank highlights innovative consumer products with strong traction and real-world demand.
The founders applied with The Chair Blanket after launching the product in Fall 2024 with a presale that sold out, quickly validating consumer interest.
Since then, the company has sold more than 70,000 Chair Blankets nationwide, with rapid growth across:
• Direct-to-consumer sales
• Amazon
• Walmart.com
• TikTok Shop
• Wholesale retail partnerships
Their Shark Tank appearance showcases how a simple idea — solving the problem of cold, damp outdoor chairs — evolved into a fast-growing product category.
The Connection Between City Bonfires and The Chair Blanket
Although City Bonfires and The Chair Blanket operate as separate brands, they share the same founders and the same philosophy:
Make outdoor experiences better.
City Bonfires creates the fire.
The Chair Blanket makes the seat comfortable.
Together they represent a broader outdoor comfort ecosystem built by Chris and Tiffany McCasland.
Chris McCasland: Entrepreneur and Outdoor Product Innovator
Chris McCasland is the founder of City Bonfires, a brand that grew from a product made in his garage into a nationally recognized outdoor company.
After scaling City Bonfires, he identified another overlooked problem in outdoor living:
Outdoor chairs are often cold, damp, and uncomfortable.
Working with his wife Tiffany, the founders created The Chair Blanket™ as a practical solution designed specifically to fit chairs and provide waterproof protection with fleece-lined comfort.
Their appearance on Shark Tank Season 17 marks another milestone in their entrepreneurial journey.
