When a piece of steel wool is burned it gains mass Which explanation is consistent with the law of conservation of mass?

When steel wool is burned, it is merely an acceleration of the natural oxidation process that wool is constantly undergoing. The wool is not actually burning, it is actually rusting at a very fast pace, leaving behind iron oxide in its place. The additional mass comes from the addition of the oxygen atom bonding to the already present iron atoms.
