Longer thermistor okay?

RT-700 in a custom outdoor countertop. The controller ideally would end up in a housing on top of the counter. Last hurdle is a longer thermistor cable. Do y’all know of any reason I can’t lengthen it and/or how long I can go before there are issues? If I remember my science classes enough it works off of reading the resistance in the ambient probe. Wasn’t sure if it was sensitive enough to where extra length would effect the readout. Thanks.
 
I would be concerned about accuracy if probe wires were extended. The resistance added by additional wire length would most likely cause the displayed temperature to be inaccurate!
