I have an ashley 5660 that I bought last year at tsc. The stove has manual and thermostat mode. This might seem like a common sense question, but can I extend the the wires for the thermostat sensor with out any issue? I would like to put the sensor further away from the stove. It's mounted on the back of the stove, and gets the heat from the vent pipe so it thinks it's a lot hotter in the room than it really is.

Thanks!
