If you want to maintain reasonable accuracy you must use the correct type of compensating or extension cable to match the sensor.
The accuracy of the system depends on all system components.
The output is generated when the wires are in thermal gradients, so if there is any thermal gradient across the compensating/extension cable you will get errors if you do not use the correct type

You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.
for temperature sensing i will suggest a RTD or A THermocouple. for temperature sensing i will suggest a RTD or A THermocouple.
As it is K type has no disadvantages. It has a larger range. Use it with in that range
You use a thermocouple as the input to the amplifier circuit.
yes. If you use wire of certain resistance first the get the result and if u use other wire which is of more or less resistance then the voltage drop in the wire changes so the output also changes. Yes it does, but the difference may be inconsequential. The specific circuit in question and type of wire should be included for a specific answer.

To create a thermocouple one needs thermocouple wire, a means of spot welding the wire, and wire strippers. A thermocouple is used to measure temperature.
You should not paint a thermocouple.

According to the grill guy at Academy, the extension wire is used as an alternate way to light the grill. Clip a match into the end of the extension wire, light the match, and then use the extension wire to light your grill without placing your hand too close to the burners. Makes sense, but I would suggest they rename this part "manual grill lighter extension wire."
measuring temperature difference
No. However, a longer extension cord has higher resistance for a given wire gauge or size compared to a short extension cord and the voltage at the load device may drop so low that it doesn't work properly. This may also be accompanied by a noticeable rise in the temperature of the extension cord. As a rule, use the shortest extension cord that will get the job done. If the extension cord must be long, use one that has heavy gauge wire to minimize voltage drop at the load.
Yes, as long as the extension cord is rated for the load. Most microwave ovens use 1000W or more, some less. A standard two wire extension cord would be unsafe. There are, however, extension cords which have the proper gauge of wire and the necessary 3-prong outlets which a microwave would need to operate safely.
There are several variables:First and most important, what will be the current draw? If the total number of amps exceeds the rating of either the power strip or the extension cord you're creating a fire hazard.Second, the wire gauge and length of the extension are important. You will loose voltage over distance and that is a function of the current draw, wire type and wire gauge. If you're trying to run 20 amps, don't use any less than a 12 gauge extension cord up to a maximum of 100 Ft. 15 amps, minimum 14 gauge.
You could use a thermocouple.
Yes, the receptacle will have to be terminated in a receptacle box of some kind. Construction usually use an FS type box with a 1/2" hub. A 1/2" strain relief connector is used to hold the extension cord into the FS box. Wire the white wire of the cord to the silver screw, black coloured wire to the brass screw and the green wire to the green ground screw on the receptacle. The cover plate should be weatherproof FS type if the cord is to be used outdoors. If for indoor use a normal steel cover plate designed for use on a FS box will work fine. If strictly for indoor use, a box called an 1110 utility box, will also work to hold the receptacle.
