Taj Boston Firewood Menu
The Fireplace Butler will build and light the wood fire of your choice from these selections:
  • Birch Wood: Birch produces a strong heat and burns quickly, creating a warm and cozy interlude before an evening's entertainment on the town
  • Cherry Wood: Fragrant and slow burning, the glowing colors from this fire will enhance your in-room dining experience
  • Oak Wood: A lightly scented, long-burning wood, oak produces a comforting, cozy warmth for a long winter's night
  • Maple Wood: The sweet aroma of maple evokes the essence of a New England winter in the heart of Boston
  • Taj Blend: An off-the-menu proprietary combination of woods for a most delightful and aromatic fire
