I’m trying to see if I can make my own activated charcoal diy, from bonfire charcoal and if it is equally as good as the purchased activated charcoal.

“Activated” is just a marketing term that means “more surface area”. More surface area is important in chemicals, because it allows for those reactions to take place quicker/more fully. There’s some easy ways to accomplish this. Obviously the finer the powder you can grind it into, the more surface area it will have. One more advanced technique is to give the fine particles an awkward geometry. This can be done with advanced milling equipment.
Eating a little bit of charcoal has a couple of benefits. It helps with flatulence and bloating. And in this situation “activated” charcoal would work faster/better than eating a lump of bonfire charcoal.
Also, I just want to point out that you SHOULD NOT eat bonfire charcoal. Especially out of the bag. That stuff is soaked in accelerant and other chemicals to make it burn better. That stuff will make you very sick.
