When stuff burns it combines with Oxygen, forming all sort of byproducts. Most of the 'lost' mass will be carbon dioxide and water vapor in the case of things like wood, paper, gasoline etc. The smoke, in other words, is where you find most of the mass that 'burns away'

When things burn, some of the mass is converted into gases and smoke that are released into the atmosphere. The rest of the mass is left behind as residue, such as ash or soot.
