I'd assume that no atoms are destroyed (but chemistry in this world is Different, so salt heavily), but some of them might be released as gasses as the two fuels are ... "burned" isn't quite the right word, maybe "catalyzed"? ... to release heat. Maybe only the added ge/earth is left at the end, maybe more than that.
Not knowing what the "basic" and "exalted" labels for the fuels reference (footnotes), I might imagine that the basic fuels are easy to make and inexpensive, while the exalted ones are more complicated and expensive -- and that's before modifying both of them for the slow burn. Proportions of the two aren't specified, though, so it might favor the basic & not be so expensive. Or those names might have nothing to do with difficulty of production or cost. :)
