The most common cause of a sauce breaking is heating it too high. Keep the heat as low as possible.
Great! So glad you enjoyed it!
I would not use the sauce as a marinade in this one because there is already a spice rub for the meat. You would lose a great deal of the sauce if you used it as a marinade.
