It is not recommended. Inside cords have a much lighter insulation around the conductors and overall jacket. Out door cords have a heavier protective coating around the wires for the extra wear and tear the cord will be put to. Also the outside jacket will have a UV rated material so as not to deteriorate in the sunlight

Does a long extension cord draw more power than a short extension cord?
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.
