It depends on what besides carbon and hydrogen molecules are in the fuel. The hydrogen becomes H2O. The carbon becomes CO and CO2 and even C (soot particles). Depending on how it is burnt there can also be burnt nitrogen as NOx. The big variety comes when there is sulfur or other elements in the fuel oil or coal. Each can form its oxide such as SOx. Without more fuel composition data, air fuel ratio info, and burner temperature data it is impossible to get more specific.

reactants are oxygen (O2= the gas) which comes out of the air, and whatever hydrocarbon you are burning, such as your butane molecule (C4H10) Fossil fuels are organic compounds. They are also hydrocarbons meaning they are chains of carbon with hydrogen attached. Products in a complete reaction include CO2 and H2O, carbon dioxide and water.
