Original Note:
The increase in weight isn't due to paper burning. There is steel wool hidden in the paper. At ~10 seconds into the video, you can clearly see steel wool burning, which transforms into iron oxide. This reaction is what increases the weight, not the paper being burned. https://thewonderofscience.com/phenomenon/2018/7/8/burning-steel-wool
