We are trying to move our electric stove to another room. However, that room does not have a power outlet that matches the stove. Therefore we want to extend the current stove cable. We want to cut the current cable in halves, and connect a new section of cable in between.
This is the cable that we want to install (AWG 8, 7 strands), what would be a good way to connect two cables of this type together?

Sounds like a bad plan.
"We want to cut the current cable in halves, and connect a new section of cable in between."
And then what? Hide the splices in a wall or under cabinets? No. Leave it on the floor or stapled to the wall? No. Run a completely new wire into the stove and get a replacement plug? Yes.
Or do it the right way and install an outlet where the stove now goes.
