I wouldn't use a measure-for-measure amount of the brown Twin to substitute for the sugar in the recipe. I suggest you try ¼ cup each brown SugarTwin plus Splenda. The two sweeteners mixed together will actually boost the sweet taste, so you can use less overall. Most of the sweeteners seem to take on a bitter edge when you use large amounts of any one alone.
About bbq sauce ... real sugar is what gives it the nice gooey sticky glazed quality. You won't get that with artificial sweeteners, unhappily. Try a search in our Kitchen forums .. I do believe there are a few recipes for low-carb bbq sauces which you could try, or they might give ideas how to adapt the recipe you've got.
