Would it be grammatically correct (although sounding awkward) to use "outside from" (similarly to "aside from") instead of "outside of"?

No. 'outside' and 'from' don't show up within the same constituent of a sentence when they occur together: The chimney at the left vents to the outside | from the living room fireplace.

Please write a complete sentence. Assessing grammatical correctness requires more than a couple of words.

Besides, why do you want to use "outside from" when "outside of" is the natural choice?
